Yes. But buy quality weedmat the cheaper stuff rots in a couple of years.

Ok thanks. Would Mitre 10 be 'cheep' stuff!

I was in M10 yesterday and I see they were selling the same stuff the Warehouse sells but with a different label. It was priced at $9.95 probably they have better quality as well. If you buy the cheap weedmatput some newspaper underneath first, probably about 6 layers, helps stop weeds ggrowing

no- heavy mulch instead, easier to replant

I assume you mean for a garden bed.No - 1. it sours the soil through poor aeration, which means the plants don't grow as well.2.Weeds still grow eventually, and when they do they're harder to remove because they stick to the weedmat.3.what lilifield says.

depends on how much time you have.if you have a large garden and enjoy spending 5 hours p/week weeding then, no,dont go for weedmat

I think that they are smaller rolls than Warehouse sell.
