Product Description
40" x 36', Natural Weedblock, Eco-Friendly Weed Control Fabric, Made With Ingeo Fibers Derived From Annually Renewable Resources, Like Corn.Easy Gardener 1623 WeedBlock Natural Landscape Fabric - 40-Inch x 36-Foot Review
This weed blocker fabric product looked appealing because it contained 50% renewable ingredients. So I bought a roll, laid it down in a landscaped area, and installed my drip irrigation system over it. When I went to test the irrigation, I was horrified to see that the water didn't penetrate the weed blocker fabric. It didn't even wet it, as it would ordinary black plastic. It just beaded, like water on a waxed car, and formed little pools in the low spots. Thirty hours later the pools were still there, minus evaporation. There was no way I was going to disassemble the irrigation system, so I had no choice but to take the fabric up in pieces, undoing the hours I spent fitting it around plants. I would simply do without a weed barrier, relying on mulch alone. Not a happy camper.But I was lucky. When I tested the irrigation, I saw the defect. Many people would simply lay the fabric down, apply mulch, and walk away, unaware that a rain would create runoff, rather than wetting the soil. Did I get a bad roll? If I did, then lots of people did, or will. They don't make one roll at a time, but large numbers. It's on your home improvement store shelves, waiting for you to feel green and bite.
