Roofing paper? Isn't that stuff nasty too? What about some of the other
construction papers (I don't know the name of the stuff but it is heavy
brown for laying over perf pipe to keep out silt)

How about plastic?

Any other sealants for the garden dirt side of the tie?

all you have to do is line the inside of the ties with roofing pap
