DuPont™ Plantex® works by suppressing weeds. When combined with a mulch covering or under paving, light cannot penetrate to the weeds. The unique structure of DuPont™ Plantex® gives it immense strength. Weeds already weak from lack of light cannot penetrate through the fabric. However, unlike black polythene, DuPont™ Plantex® will allow the soil to breathe and lets water through.

Which way up do I lay DuPont™ Plantex®?
Any way. DuPont™ Plantex® can even be laid vertically to stop weeds penetrating from next door.

Can I feed my plants through DuPont™ Plantex®?
Yes. Liquid feed will pass straight through.
The nutrients in solid feed will also leach through over a short time, therefore providing a more controlled feed.

Can I lay DuPont™ Plantex® around existing beds?
Yes. Although slightly more fiddly than a new bed, DuPont™ Plantex® can be cut around the base of your plants. Remember to allow a 100mm overlap.

How long will DuPont™ Plantex® last?
When covered with the correct depth of mulch, DuPont™ Plantex® will last for over 25 years. If used uncovered or with insufficient cover the ultra violet rays in sunlight will weaken the tensile strength of DuPont™ Plantex®.

Can I walk on DuPont™ Plantex®?
Yes. DuPont™ Plantex® is used under footpaths in many public parks. It is also used under golf bunkers and turfed sports surfaces.

Will DuPont™ Plantex® harm children or pets?
No. It is chemically inert. It can even be used to line pond plant baskets and as a filter layer in fish tanks.
