Weed-X Landscape Fabric is a premium chemical-free weed control and prevention landscape fabric. Dalen s Weed-X has a unique dual-layer design to provide permanent weed control while allowing water and nutrients to pass through the fabric. Excellent for landscape plantings around trees or patios anywhere where you want to prevent weeds from your plantings. Weed-X Landscape Fabric is guaranteed weed control for 20 years. Installation: after preparing your garden bed unroll with the black side up. Trim around any existing plantings and simply cut a space for any new plants. Securing with Dalen s Garden Staples is recommended. Afterward spread a mulch of your choice (prolonged exposure to sunlight will deteriorate the fabric). Weeds may start to grow spreading their roots within the mulch. Limited access to the soil will limit the growth of unwanted plants. Weeding is simplified.
