carpet as weed suppressant

[nick the grief]

........ My site is also very open so I don't know how you would keep the straw in place.

You could always use carpet over it LJ

I've used carpet on my old plot as yes there are chemicals released but it wasn't down permanantly just to buy me some time. I still have the carpet and use it to cover the manure heap & the rest was cut into strips to make temporary pathways between the CHrysanths & Dahlia's. The only alternative is to use Black planstic but then this breaks down eventually so you'll never win.
