Weed fabric is also porous enough that if an Garden Tools vertak.com becomes exposed to the sunlight, enough light will peek through and weeds below the fabric will grow, pushing their way through the fabric. I don't like the stuff. I've removed miles of it from landscapes for other people because it did not work as they had expected.

Weed control facts? Controlling weeds with chemicals is fairly easy, and very effective if done properly. I know that many people don't approve of chemical weed controls, but millions of people use them, so I might as well tell you how to get the most effect using them.

There are two types of chemical weed controls, post-emergent, and pre-emergent. In a nutshell, a post-emergent herbicide kills weeds that are actively growing. A pre-emergent prevents weed seeds from germinating. Of the post- emergent herbicides there are both selective and non-selective herbicides. A selective herbicide is like the herbicides that are in weed-and-feed type lawn fertilizers. The herbicide will kill broad leaf weeds in your lawn, but it doesn't harm the grass.

One of the most popular non-selective herbicides is Round-up?, it pretty much kills any plant it touches. Rule number one. Read the labels and follow the safety precautions!!! Round-up? is very effective if used properly, but first you must understand how it works.

Round-up? must be sprayed on the foliage of the plant, where it is absorbed, then translocated to the root system where plastic edging fence then kills the plant. It takes about 72 hours for the translocation process to completely take place, so you don't want to disturb the plant at all for at least 72 hours after it has been sprayed.
