What Is an Anti-weed Sheet?
Anti-weed sheets are fiber sheets designed to prevent weed growth. By blocking sunlight, these sheets cover weeds and soil, inhibiting weed growth and seed germination. Compared to other methods, their ease of use and cost-effectiveness are significant advantages. They are also less harmful to the soil than herbicides, facilitating easier land reuse.
However, anti-weed sheets can affect the aesthetics of the installation site. Covering them with gravel or artificial turf is a common solution. Preparing the site involves flattening the soil and removing debris.
Uses of Anti-Weed Sheets
Widely used in public and residential spaces, anti-weed sheets are common in parks, highway medians, cemeteries, and construction sites. They are increasingly popular in home gardens, under decks, and in parking lots, as well as in vacant lots and farmland.
For solar power plants, anti-weed sheets are essential in preventing weed growth that could block solar panels, ensuring efficient power generation. In parking lots, they provide effective weed control, allow water drainage, and are durable enough to withstand vehicular traffic.
