ABGrow plants not plastic! Suggestions below 👇
Plastic woven membrane is really ineffective in gardens for stopping weeds growing. All that happens is that a layer of organic matter develops on top which provides a perfect seed bed for plants to establish. Even worse though is the impact that it has on the soil, It will compact it. Because the organic matter cannot get to the soil which is essential for healthy soil, the worms and other insects cannot move it and eat it. There are no roots so the soil compacts because there is nothing to support it.
Instead have multi layered planting with plants growing at different heights including lower growing plants such as
Deadnettle, clover, wild strawberry, forget me nots, self heal, creeping thyme, herb robert, ajuga, plantain, dandelion, speedwell, chickweed.
