Masgard Eco Weed Fabric: The sustainable solution against weeds
Why is an eco-friendly weed fabric the best choice?
Weeds can become a nuisance in the garden quickly. However, chemical herbicides not only harm unwanted plants but also impact the environment negatively. A sustainable alternative is the Masgard Eco Weed Fabric, made from PLA (polylactic acid). This petroleum-free weed barrier suppresses weed growth without harming nature effectively. In this article, you'll learn why PLA weed fabric is an environmentally friendly choice for your garden.
What is Masgard Eco Weed Fabric?
The eco weed control fleece is a biodegradable and sustainable garden fabric, developed as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional weed fabrics made from polypropylene (PP). It consists of PLA, a material derived from renewable resources, which decomposes naturally over time without leaving behind harmful residues.
Advantages of a petroleum-free weed fabric
1. Environmentally friendly and sustainable
Unlike conventional weed barriers, Masgard Eco Weed Fabric contains no petroleum and no plastic components. This prevents microplastic pollution in the environment.
2. Effective weed control
Thanks to its dense structure, this garden fabric blocks sunlight, effectively preventing weed growth while maintaining soil aeration and water balance.
3. Long-lasting durability
This petroleum-free weed fabric naturally decomposes over time. Under industrial composting conditions, the decomposition process takes about one year. However, when used outdoors in moderate climates, the fabric can last for many years. This eliminates the need for frequent replacements, as is often the case with conventional plastic weed barriers.
4. Versatile applications
Whether in vegetable beds, under shrubs or on slopes, this eco-friendly weed fabric can be used throughout the garden to prevent unwanted plant growth.
5. Higher water permeability
Due to its open surface structure, the fabric is more water-permeable compared to polypropylene weed fabrics.
Application tips for Masgard Eco Weed Fabric
To maximize the effectiveness of PLA weed fabric, consider the following steps:
1. Prepare the soil: Before laying the fabric, remove all existing weeds, roots, and rhizomes and loosen the soil.
2. Roll out the fabric: Cut the eco-friendly weed barrier to the desired size and lay it flat on the ground.
3. Secure in place: Use ground anchors or stones to secure the fabric firmly.
4. Mulch or bark covering: Adding a layer of pine bark, bark mulch or wood chips enhances the appearance and improves the fabric’s effectiveness.
