Re: Landscape Faberic


3 x 300 equals 900 sq. ft., where I went to school. Plus, you'll lose a couple of inches when you overlap each row.

I can't answer your specific question about what is better - 3 oz. or 4 oz. but I would guess the cost is negligible so I'd go with the 4 oz. - if it were me doing it.

Re: Landscape Faberic


I quit using it. Grass clippings and windborne dirt just accumulate on top of it as do weed seeds. In essence, you create what you don't want but at a higher expense. Would you like to see my pineapple garden? I did it by the numbers and still hit the weeds with RoundUp.
