Questions and Answers for Vigoro 6 ft. x 100 ft. Heavy Duty 3 oz. Woven Weed Barrier

A:  its a good weed barrier but does not have a lot of drainage holes.

A:  Hello! Water does pass through the landscape fabric. It doesn't pour through, but passes through gradually. Water will also gradually pass down around your river rocks and will then seep through the fabric. I hope that answers your question- just send another note back if not! Thank you!

A:  It does NOT drain fast. It drains very poorly forming a pool of water for hours making the bark decay very fast and weeds are happily growing on the top of the fabric in the decayed bark. I paid $83.98 :-(

A:  I use my screen under 2 - 3 inches of mulch and water (rain) passes right through it, however .... underneath my screen is Virginia clay which slows the water a lot. Water freely passes though the screen, but may NOT pass through the 'soil' directly under the screen. Good Luck with that.

A:  very little water passage. i bought this for an area in my backyard and regret buying this particular item as the water washes the mulch away. i have had to use a tool to poke holes in it so water will soak through

A:  A thin layer of pea gravel would work better for soil retention and would not degrade over time

A:  I think it would work but over time it might deteriorate and not serve the purpose you were looking for. I do believe if you put down a double layer it would still be a barrier and keep separation between the dirt and stone base.

A:  I think so, but cant say for sure as i didn't use for that. I used mine as a weed barrier rather than a "soil barrier"

A:  Hi there. Yes, this Heavy Duty Landscape Fabric has alignment stripes. The weight is 3 oz. Thank you!

A:  I have never left it out in direct sun, we have always used it under rock or mulch, so it could be a heat issue ?

A:  From my understanding you want NON WOVEN if you want water to pass through.

A:  Yes, absolutely. Air, water and nutrients can flow through the fabric. It's intended for garden use.

A:  Water pools on it for sure. Not sure what the rep was thinking saying it goes right through. Some might, but I just laid it and it rained over night and now 4 hours later, there are multiple pools of water on the surface.

A:  As long as you cut a large enough opening around your plants, the water will follow thru the barrier, otherwise it tends to pool the water on top and it takes a while to go thru.

A:  Well I have it down and water is just standing after 12 hours, totally impermeable as far as I can tell.

A:  Water goes right through.

A:  It is .02 mm thick.

A:  Yes this has been designed with exceptional air and water flow. It will allow the appropriate amount of water to pass through without flooding.

A:  Yes Landscape staples will work very well to hold the ground cover in place.

A:  My husband and I prefer the plastic anchoring spikes over the staples. Rust was our issue. He preferred the longer fluted black ones and I like the shorter spiky ones.
