Gardening tip - Weed mat
WEED MAT......... Why I am not a fan and why its not good for your garden:
- Its expensive (doesn't do what it is suppose too)
- Effects drainage and aeration (this leads to poor soil
quality. Showed in image)
- Weeds still grow on top
- Weed roots snap off when weeding and stay in the weed mat
- Hard to improve the organic matter of the soil with weed mat
as it causes a barrier.
- Labour intensive to lay.
- If planting through weed mat you can drop soil onto it which then can cause weeds to grow on top of the weed mat, defeats the purpose of laying it in the first place.
-Plants planted with weed mat can get smothered and not throw down a good root system

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
