Re: Convolvulus arvensis and cardboard / newspaper


How does landscape cloth differ from greenhouse/nursery ground cloth? I have used tar paper to line French drains that surround my raised beds and wonder if the latter will work as well as the landscape cloth.

Ground cloth works wonders for me for controlling weeds under tables, inside and out. One exception occurs when debris is allowed to collect in low pockets, where robust weeds and grasses will germinate and thrive. If the plants get large, pulling them out results in the development of holes that the next weeds will poke their heads through.

Sweeping the cloth off every 4 - 6 weeks keeps the cloth functioning well.
