RE: Using Landscaping Cloth

Hi,
Have you used Preen?  It is great if you keep putting it down and do not
disturb the dirt.  If you disturb the dirt reapply.

Thanks,

Subject: [iris] Using Landscaping Cloth

I guess that is what one calls it--landscaping Cloth. It is a coarse
type cloth-like material to act as a barrier against weeds. I came into
an amount of it as a freebie and was thinking that I could use it in the
garden where I have my iris planted. The question I have is that if you
hae used it with your iris, how much room do you give them to allow for
growth by cutting holes or slits or what?

The problem is that the weeds here are really getting out of hand, and I
simply cannot keep up with them, so I am looking at a method that may
help me with keeping the weeds at  least under control, if not
eliminated.

Thanks.
