How to Use Weed Cloth for Shade
- 1). Cut the weed cloth to the size and shape of the shaded garden bed. This may require more than one strip of weed cloth.
- 2). Anchor the weed cloth to the ground using U-shaped wire pins.
- 3). Cut slits in the weed cloth for your plantings. Proceed to plant the garden bed as you would have without the weed cloth.
- 4). Cover the weed cloth with mulch to weight it down and hide its appearance. Mulch will also aid in inhibiting weed germination and growth.
