Don’t waste money on the black anti-weed mats! Use newspaper instead. It’s free, seems to work better, and is totally biodegradable. Lessen your footprint by reusing household items like this!
You dont have to pay for your newspapers. Find out who delivers newspapers to local stores or neighbors and contact them. They have so many old newspapers they need to get rid of they will give you as much as you want for free.
This is a great tip! I never would have thought. We are getting ready to do some serious landscaping and this is a perfect, economical, and environmentally good alternative to that black paper. Thanks!
