Beware of Weed Cloth

Garden Tip #1

Beware of Weed Cloth

Weed cloth is designed to let water through and keep roots out.  But water can only penetrate the cloth slowly.  Most of the water will runoff and possibly away from the plants you want to water.  It is important to use a drip-system in areas where you have a weed cloth barrier.  It is better to water your plants at a slow pace that the weed cloth can keep up with, this way your plants get the water and not your pathways.
