How to lay agro-textile fabric in the garden? Preparing the ground

Prepar­ing the land before lay­ing the agro-tex­tile is a key step that affects its effec­tive­ness and dura­bil­i­ty. In order to prop­er­ly lay down agro-fibreThe ground should be cleared of all stones, weeds and oth­er obstruc­tions. The area should be care­ful­ly cleared so that the agro-tex­tile can adhere thor­ough­ly to the ground, min­imis­ing the risk of weed over­growth and dam­age to the mate­r­i­al. It is worth pay­ing par­tic­u­lar atten­tion to plant roots, which can inter­fere with the agro-tex­tile in the long term.

Once the area has been cleared, it is worth lev­el­ling the sur­face, remov­ing any uneven­ness that may affect the effec­tive­ness of the agro-tex­tile. A well-pre­pared sur­face will ensure the sta­bil­i­ty and long-term per­for­mance of the agro-tex­tile. If the ground is very dry, it can be slight­ly moist­ened, which will help the agro-tex­tile to adhere bet­ter to the soil. A sur­face pre­pared in this way will allow the agro-tex­tile to spread effec­tive­ly, which in turn will pro­tect the plants from weeds and mois­ture loss.

How do I lay agro-textile on a slope?

As we men­tioned ear­li­er, it is cru­cial to pre­pare and secure the mate­r­i­al prop­er­ly to pre­vent land­slides. Once this is done, the agro-tex­tile can be unrolled from the top of the slope down­wards, while it should be well ten­sioned and shaped to the ter­rain. To fur­ther secure the agro-tex­tile against slid­ing, it is a good idea to use strong pins or pegs to fix the mate­r­i­al at reg­u­lar inter­vals, espe­cial­ly on the edges and where the slope changes slope. Well-fixed edges pre­vent it from mov­ing and being under­mined by the wind. The agro-tex­tile is installed so that at the joints of the indi­vid­ual sheets, they over­lap by about 10–15 cm, which pro­vides addi­tion­al sta­bil­i­ty and pro­tec­tion against weeds. With prop­er instal­la­tion, the plants can grow prop­er­ly and the soil is effec­tive­ly pro­tect­ed against ero­sion and weed over­growth.

Laying agro-textile fabric under shrubs and thuyas

Lay­ing agro-tex­tile fab­ric under shrubs and thuyas is an impor­tant part of car­ing for plants in the gar­den, affect­ing their healthy growth and devel­op­ment. The process starts with the pre­cise spread­ing of the non­wo­ven agro-tex­tile on the sur­face pre­pared before­hand. The agro-tex­tile should be spread even­ly, ensur­ing that it cov­ers the entire area where the plants are to be plant­ed. A key step is to cut the mate­r­i­al prop­er­ly to suit the shape and size of the plant­i­ng area. Holes should be cut where the shrubs and thuyas will be locat­ed to allow them to grow freely. It is impor­tant that the holes are large enough not to restrict root space, but at the same time not too large to min­imise light access for weeds. Once the holes have been cut, the agro-tex­tile is fixed to the ground with spe­cial pegs or pins, which pre­vents it from mov­ing under the influ­ence of wind or mechan­i­cal action. Once the agro-tex­tile is secured, the plant­i­ng of shrubs and tui can pro­ceed in the des­ig­nat­ed areas. Final­ly, for aes­thet­ics and addi­tion­al pro­tec­tion, the area can be cov­ered with a lay­er of bark or grav­el, which will fur­ther impede weed growth and keep the soil moist. 

Protection and maintenance of agro-textiles in the garden

The best way to per­ma­nent­ly fix the agro-tex­tile is to use strong pins or pegs, which should be placed at reg­u­lar inter­vals, espe­cial­ly at the edges and where the mate­r­i­al comes into con­tact with the plants. These should be dri­ven deep into the ground to hold the agro-tex­tile in place even in strong winds.

Reg­u­lar main­te­nance main­ly involves remov­ing any dirt, such as fall­en leaves, twigs and oth­er plant debris that may accu­mu­late on the sur­face of the agro­tex­tile. Every few months it is worth check­ing the con­di­tion of the pins and pegs and replac­ing them if you notice any defects. In this way, the agro-tex­tile will serve effec­tive­ly for many years, pro­tect­ing the soil and plants from unwant­ed weeds.

The most common mistakes when laying agro-textiles

First­ly, fail­ure to thor­ough­ly clean the ground before lay­ing the agro-tex­tile can lead to dam­age by stones or roots left behind. To avoid this, care­ful­ly remove all obsta­cles from the ground. Anoth­er mis­take is not care­ful­ly lev­el­ling the sur­face, which can result in uneven­ness and poor adhe­sion of the agro-tex­tile to the soil. Anoth­er com­mon prob­lem is the incor­rect fix­ing of the agro-tex­tile. Too few pins or pegs can lead to the agro-tex­tile mov­ing in the wind. It is impor­tant to fix the mate­r­i­al at reg­u­lar inter­vals, pay­ing par­tic­u­lar atten­tion to edges and cor­ners. Many users also for­get to over­lap the agro-tex­tile sheets to pro­vide bet­ter pro­tec­tion against weeds. Fol­low­ing these rules will max­imise the effec­tive­ness in pro­tect­ing plants and soil.
