Repurposing Old Polytunnel Plastic To Make A Sheet Mulch to Suppress Weeds An A Place For My Planting Nursery.

 I said on yesterday's post that the veg plot is very weedy and I have decided to put old  polytunnel plastic down to smother the weeds and grass and I will place my plants nursery on them in between the raised beds.


Part of the cover of my last polytunnel that was ripped and destroyed by the many Atlantic gales we get on our peninsula living in the countryside next to the sea.

Me being a tight wad organic vegetable gardener and smallholder.  Didn't rush to buy horticultural plastic.  I reused and repurposed my old polytunnel cover.

A newly plastic mulched area for my carboot perennials nursery.

Anyone else repurpose plastic in the veg plot?  I have bought Mypex landscape fabric in the past.  It's  porous but the weeds grow through it after a while.
