Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does WeedGuardPlus last?
WeedGuardPlus is engineered to gradually decompose and last one growing season - about 8 months. Any remaining WeedGuardPlus can be tilled or plowed into the soil at the end of the growing season.
What is it made from?
WeedGuardPlus is a specially engineered cellulose fiber paper like material. It's natural formulation does not contain harmful chemicals.
How does it block weeds?
WeedGuardPlus is 100% opaque - no light gets through the material, so weeds cannot get light and cannot grow.
If WeedGuardPlus is opaque and blocks light and weeds - How does water get to the soil and plants below?
Do to the unique formula of WeedGuardPlus, it has excellent porosity which permits air and water transmission.
WeedGuardPlus allows water and air to transmit through it - Why doesn't it fall apart when it gets wet?
WeedGuardPlus is specially designed with a wet-strength component that keeps the material together when it gets wet. It can withstand torrential rains - often seen in early spring storms. The wet-strength component is FDA approved.
WeedGuardPlus is offered in Fertilized and Non-Fertilized versions - what's the difference?
The base material for both products is formulated the same. Fertilizer enriched WeedGuardPlus has the added benefit of a 5-5-5 NPK nutritive commercial fertilizer component. The Non-Fertilized version is formulated with the same unique base structure but simply does not contain the fertilizer enhancement.
Fertilizer enriched WeedGuardPlus? That's unique - how does it contain the fertilizer and how do these nutrients get to the soil and plants?
The fertilizer enrichment in WeedGuardPlus is suspended within the material and is "time-released" allowing these valuable nutrients to slowly percolate into the soil and aid in plant development.
I bought the Fertilizer enriched WeedGuardPlus - How does the 5-5-5 in WeedGuardPlus compare with other powder or liquid fertilizers?
A unique benefit of the fertilizer enriched WeedGuardPlus is the fertilizer only goes to the plant below - it is locally dispersed not broadly dispersed and is accomplished through the unique product design. The WeedGuardPlus fertilizer enriched version contains a balanced all purpose 5-5-5 nutritional formulation exactly the same as other balanced formula fertilizer's. WeedGuardPlus just saves you time and effort.
Why is WeedGuardPlus brown in color?
WeedGuardPlus is soil-brown in color to be esthetically appealing. This darker color also can absorb sunlight and convert this light to heat which can warm the soil - aiding earlier plant development.
How thick is the material?
WeedGuardPlus is fairly thick (like a business card) but is pliable too. Unlike plastic's WeedGuardPlus can be cut with scissors to irregular shapes for custom fitting to your garden layout.
