We have never mulched the fabric. If my wife hadn’t cut too many unused slits in it, we would be using it again. I am going to use it again on my container beds. Its tough stuff, was recommended by JustADumbBlonde a few years ago. Its cheap, and last long. It is a contractor grade, not the flimsy stuff from Lowes. We have never pulled weeds or hoed. It’s planted, the drip system is running, we have nothing else to do till we pick tomatoes and peppers..
We have pictures on my FR homepage.
Trading a DIY idea with the one you gave me for the pallet corner planter..This is for a folding trellis that costs over 25 bucks at Lowe’s..
