Landscape Fabric
Landscape fabric is available in various sizes and lengths. It's affordable, lightweight, and permeable to both water and air.
- It blocks most seeds from reaching the soil, which helps prevent seed germination.
- Wait to lay down your fabric until the soil has dried out and you have tilled it thoroughly.
- The black color aids in warming up the soil, but be aware that some weeds might still sprout underneath.
- Once the soil is warm enough for planting, use chalk to mark out your rows and holes for your seedlings.
- Use scissors to cut holes in the fabric to place your seedlings.
- If desired, add a layer of mulch to retain moisture and prevent unwanted plants from germinating beneath the fabric.
