I'm a new allotment owner and looking for advice regarding weed control
fabric. I've weeded and dug over a section of the plot and thought to
buy some weed control fabric to stop the weeds coming up and wind
disperesed seeds landing and germinating i the soil. I've come across a
range of this stuff online at 'Weed Stop Fabric | Landscape Weed Control
| Weed Fabric' (http://tinyurl.com/ybqdujj) and it seems to be the good
enough to do the job but I would appreciate any views on it before I
make a purchase. Any comments will be much appreciated.

Usual recommendations for large areas a

1) Old carpet upside down (I would suggest woolen carpet, not sure about
modern man made fibre things)
2) Thick black polythene


'Don't' use carpet! It leeches chemicals into the soil and is banned on some
council owned allotments.
