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”!
