Dorothy,

I use the black matting and it is great!  I have had no problems with and yes, you can mulch over and never see it.  I use it under my hoop house and it sticks out on all sides.  Well, I just mulched all around the hoop house and now have extra room for plants!  I like it!!

Hello,

I am new to this list, as are most of us I guess.  We have had an organic garden for he past 30 years. It is just a large backyard garden but it supplies more than ample produce for our family, friends, and freezing for the winter months.   

 

I am writing to ask about using the black fabric shield which people use to control weeds.  Have any of you used this?  Is it conducive to a healthy garden production?  Should it be covered with a mulch such as grass clippings?

 

Thank you for your input.

Dorothy
