Maybe just use it laid "around" the base of the main plant till it starts to creep and chokes out the weeds on it's own? Any suggestions? Quote \| Reply \| Report

As a matter of fact, I just got rid of a bunch because it wasn't "choking" out any weeds. I had to dig it to get to the weeds, but then again, I live in a "hazardous" area! CLAY!
