Cucumbers between tall Indian corn. This would have been impossible without the weed fabric.
There's two good things about this weed fabric... one is that is does suppress the weeds rather well despite letting a little bit of light through (plus where Ive cut holes in it). The other, is that by letting a little bit of light through, the weeds that depend on light to germinate, do in fact germinate, so it not only reduces the current weeds but it also may reduce the future weed pressure by depleting a significant portion of the weed seeds by tricking them into sprouting.
Plants seem to love this fabric, and I've not noticed any additional pest pressure. I dont want to rely on industrial products but I cant think of a natural product that would be an exact equivalent.
