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.
