Hi Everyone
I’m new here & thought I’d mention that I’ve used recycled silage sheets in the past for mulching a new allotment. I got it from my friends brother who is a dairy farmer, so was very happy to see it reused. We just layered it where there were any holes or breaks & left it for most of the summer. It was really effective for getting rid of the weeds – our main ones are mares tail, couch grass & bind weed, with a good sprinkling of creeping buttercup. The only downside I could think of could be that it’s not water permeable, unlike other materials. I didn’t find this much of a problem, possibly because we garden on quite a wet site – between the river & a flooded field for a large proportion of the last 18 months!!
Cheers
Vanessa
