Don't do it, you'll regret it later. We used a lot of old rugs & carpets, event rag rugs, in the pathways & as sheet mulch many years ago & it got tangled in tillers, prevented shovels from digging easily. I perhaps would use them in a zone 5 area that was not intensive, or would use them short term for killing back top growth & keep moving them around.

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone got experience using old carpet to supress grass? Does the
carpet break down into horrific chemicals I wish I didn't ever know about?

I suppose old wool carpets wouldn't do that, but where would there be a
source for old wool carpets.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
