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”!

Vata R.1 day agoVerified buyer

Excellent , easy to use and very versatile in case you wanna cut into different sizes.
You did a great job in packaging it for shipment so it doesn't get damaged.

Happy with 24' width

Like the 24' width and lighter silage, as it's easier to work with and store on our small farm.

Barbara T.about 1 month agoVerified buyer

Great product! In the past we were piecing together a dozen small tarps, some of which did a bad job killing the grass. This silage tarp is large but simple to set up and has already started killing the grass beneath it so we can add more dahlia beds.

What a relief

5 out of 5 stars

Lynn C.about 1 month agoVerified buyer

Breaking my arm put me back several months in the Market Garden was a mess. What relief it was to cover the whole garden. Then when the plants were ready, just peel back and plant wow! That was great. The biggest problem I had was no fault but my own is that I have three German Shepherds who thought there was something moving under the tarp when the wind blew the tarp. I had several bite marks and a brand new tarp. I called Farmer's friend for suggestions and they were very helpful by sending me tape repair. What a blessing! Love this concept.

All items were very well wrapped therefore there was no damage to any of the packages. Speedy delivery too.

Thicker than we thought and very durable.

The 6mil tarps are great, much heavier than I thought they would be and thats a good thing. We covered 10,000 sqft in about an hour, then a few hours filling 120 sandbags to hold them down.
