This is definitely not the lightweight stuff you find at your local Lowe’s or Home Depot. I didn’t even bother trying to cut it, just grabbed my butane torch lighter and “cut” to size that way. Quick, easy and no frayed edges.I’m choosing to lay it over my garden then burn in my holes where I’m staking and planting. While this may be tedious to some, the minimal weeding later will be worth it.Having used the lightweight stuff before and knowing it’s limits, I feel confident this product will prove much better and last for years to come. .
