Are weeds out­num­ber­ing the veg­etable plants in your gar­den? Are you spend­ing more time cul­ti­vat­ing than harvesting? 

Enter Silage Tarps. Made pop­u­lar by Jean-Martin Fortier in his book The Market Gardener, Silage Tarps are a sim­ple, cost-effec­tive, game-chang­ing weed management solution to pre­emp­tive­ly elim­i­nate weed pres­sure in your grow­ing space.

Shipping restrictions apply. Ships to USA only.

Weed suppression made simple.

Nip weeds in the bud. Literally.

Our 5‑mil, UV-treat­ed poly­eth­yl­ene tarps cre­ate a stale seedbed in as lit­tle as 3 weeks!

Here’s how it works:

  • The black tarp cre­ates a warm, moist envi­ron­ment which quick­ly kills estab­lished weeds and encour­ages rapid weed seed germination.
  • The new­ly emerged weeds then face a dark, suf­fo­cat­ing envi­ron­ment in which they quick­ly die.
  • Worms and oth­er ben­e­fi­cial organ­isms soon appear to decom­pose any organ­ic mat­ter and loosen the soil.
  • In three to four weeks (up to six weeks in win­ter) you will have an almost com­plete­ly com­post­ed and beau­ti­ful stale seedbed!

It’s the clos­est thing yet to ​“easy gardening”!

Barbara B.27 days agoVerified buyer

I bought several silage tarps a few years ago. We have intense sun because we are south of San Diego in latitude in this part of Texas. These tarps hold very well to sun, but tear a little more easily than expected. If they were made thicker, than they would be too heavy! Now I am using them to cover a leaky roof through the winter until I can replace the roof. Great product!

High quality product

Amy T.30 days agoVerified buyer

I'm very pleased with this tarp. It was nicely packaged with protective layers.
I cut it in half lengthwise to have two 16x100' tarps for use in garden and orchard.
Given that shipping was free, they're also a better price than anywhere else. Highly recommend.

This is a great tarp but it’s expensive

This is what I use to not have to spray of kill the grasses with fire or other chemicals. It’s differently the way to go to reduce your weed seed bank. I wish I could keep the deer off of it.
