weed membrane is it ok to use plastic sheet instead
 

hi all, a newbie here.

just a quick question about weed membrane.

i have some clear plastic sheet and wondered if it would be ok to use that instead of weed membrane.

thanks gav

just a bit more info, i plan to cover the membrane with pebbles.

can anyone help?

please anyone?

Hi Gav - You may find that the plastic sheet breaks down quickly, becoming brittle, split & holey and allowing the weeds to come through even though you`re using pebbles. It all depends on the plastic and how degradable it is.
Sorry I can`t be of more help. Good luck!
