Hello, I'd like to prevent weeds from growing between the trees, etc., in our garden. I've been thinking about putting pond liner under the soil. Will that help, or will it damage the trees, etc.? Thanks 🙂

Loading...Hi, Does anyone of you know what kind of plant this is? Thanks in advance for all answers whgoffline
Hello dear community, I am looking for beautiful, vibrantly flowering, pet-friendly houseplants. Unfortunately, I can't really find anything on Google; they're either too small or not green enough for me… I would like to have plants that are 120-160cm tall. Please use the German names if possible and not the technical terms…🙈 I am grateful…
Hello, I want to buy a water hose, but there seem to be different standards and (DIN) sizes. Perhaps someone can tell from the picture which hose fits? Thanks
The question is above. I've grown magnificent plants and built a new raised bed. Pumpkins, melons, and tomatoes are being plagued by countless snails, which we've been removing. They've been getting more and more numerous, so I've been putting out non-toxic snail barriers with "snail-stopping grit." When that doesn't stop them either, I bought conventional…
Hello dear plant lovers, I've had a Ficus Microcarpa for over a year, and it's always thrived. I'm aware that this plant is sensitive to relocation, so I've always kept it in the same spot and provided sufficient light with a special lamp. The leaves were always a rich green, and the plant bloomed profusely….
Which plants/trees (max. 2m) are suitable: they must also be a good hiding place and survive in the aviary for a longer period of time 🙂
I wouldn’t take a pond film. We also have some of the previous owners in the garden. So this is already very airtight. If you want to plant something, you have to cut the scissors. with the spade alone you don’t get through.
I would recommend a non-woven from the construction market. I got in the stone garden. It also grows (almost) nix.
In moderate climate there is nothing that is as unnatural as naked earth.
Film or nonwoven is only seemingly helpful and also only in the first 2-5 years. After that, everything grows much stronger than without fleece or foil because humus has formed there. Nature can’t be fooled.
Under the fence I would put a number of stones to brake the grass from the neighbor. This is unpleasant to fight right at the fence. I would fill the rest of the area with bark trough, at least 6cm high. The edge at the front of your own lawn is easily accessible, which can be pierced once a year. Before mulching, the shrubs must be fertilized with horns. In the biological degradation of wood, nitrogen is consumed.
Who actually planted the shrubs too close to the fence? They’re still babies growing.
Just don’t use a bark mulch – it attracts “weeds” because it contains compost components and collects mass-like bird marrow and lion tooth seeds. Interspaces better with natural wood chips ca. Cover 5 cm high. Then you can still get herbaceous weed plums out. Water-permeable film/woven can be placed under the wood chips. Better yet: Plant with shallow deckers.
I’ve never had such problems with Rindenmulch, and I’ve already used a few dozen tons of it, and I’ve been caring for the long term. If he hadn’t proven himself, I wouldn’t recommend bark.
Then keep too little oxygen and water in the ground. Hackschnitzel is a popular option. White even that dried cocoa dishes can be used – then smells everything after chocolate for a few days😅
Otherwise, I’d just watch lawn. For me still the best way to do it is the most natural. Flowers or floor deckers also go. But ne pond film is ugly just apart from the above points
I would not use pond film – it is waterproof and prevents the rain / water from coming to the roots. You would also be planted between the plants.
You could try to cover the floor with ornamental chees – but that won’t work long enough (has not worked with me).
Kies is, after fleece, the two-limest thing you can do.
Exactly – then only the mulch or the floor decker remains as you write. So we did this later, but with the floor deckers we didn’t get really happy.
Hmmh – sounds stupid.
We had (at the time) a lot of beet surfaces (flowers, vegetables, all that). At that time I was quite tense in the profession (new job etc) and at the same time my wife has long failed due to illness. We had already used a number of floor deckers.
They have grown well (as well as the rest), but there was no one who could do the garden work. They are quite tedious, but not carefree. There have been more and more. That’s why the Mulch solution.
In the meantime, however, the Beet areas have also been rebuilt so that it is now more manageable.
What was the problem?
I would first put a fitting (metal or lawn-edge stone) so that the lawn does not grow into the beds.
Pond film is completely unsuitable. If you want a cover, then get used fleece.
Actually, you only have four options:
I would put a beet cover, plant the beet with soil tops and put in between a few multi-year-old plants that come out of the green blanket every year. Looks really nice, is easy to care and the weed has no chance.
Plastic in the garden is the worst thing you can do.
Better is:
