{"product_id":"non-woven-weed-control-fabric-50gsm","title":"Non-Woven Weed Control Fabric 50gsm, Black, 1m and 2m Wide, 10m to 100m Rolls","description":"\u003cp\u003eLaying a weed control fabric before you mulch or gravel a bed is the most effective way to stop weeds coming back. This 50gsm non-woven weed control fabric is a black, spunbond polypropylene sheet that blocks light from reaching the soil while letting rain and air pass through. It is light, easy to cut and quick to lay, which makes it a practical choice under bark, chippings and gravel on borders, paths and new planting. It comes in 1m and 2m widths and in roll lengths from 10m to 100m. Gardeners, landscapers, grounds teams and builders use it for borders, gravel paths, patios, new shrub beds and hedging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlocks light, stops weeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeed seeds need light to germinate. The black fabric shuts out light at the soil surface, so most weeds below it cannot grow. Laid under mulch or gravel, it gives far better long-term weed control than mulch alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLets water and air through\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fabric is non-woven and permeable. Rain and irrigation soak through to the soil and roots, and air can still reach the soil, so plants planted through it keep growing well and puddles do not sit on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight and easy to handle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 50gsm, the fabric is lightweight and easy to unroll, cut with scissors or a knife, and fit around plants. Cross-cut slits let you plant through it after laying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned to be covered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis grade is made to sit under a covering layer.
