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”!

35x105 silage tarp
4 out of 5 stars
I've bought plastic before and in this size. This is, however, the first with the black&white opposite sides. I find that it is much slicker than previous plastic I've used, by which I mean it takes 50% more sandbags to hold it in place. All I can figure is lower friction. I have five such sheets on the ground now and the most recent windstorm moved only the new black&white silage tarp, but not any of the older gray-both-sides sheets. No explanation other than this kind is just plain slicker. Good value, no complaint whatsoever, just observation.

Does the job.

Bought two of the 32x105s. I have already had a 24x105 for three years and it is still strong. I cut these 32's into four sections as my plot sizes are 14x50. Perfect for holding the ground weed free while not in production.
