Ground Installation
Materials/Tools Required
(10) U-stakes (not supplied)
(1) 4' 6” x 6' WeedEnder Mat
(1) Hammer (not supplied)
(1) Nail or Phillips Head Screwdriver (not supplied)
Instructions
1. For new garden sites, prepare the 4' 6” x 6' area by tilling up the soil and removing all debris and large clumps of weeds and grass. If using an existing garden bed site, clean up the area thoroughly as required.
2. Supplement area with your soil/compost mix if needed.
3. Place WeedEnder mat over the prepared area.
4. With the WeedEnder in place, create pilot holes in the material with a nail or phillips head screwdriver. Start in the corners and then proceed to create holes at 18 in. intervals along the mat's edge. Figure 3 shows the general stake placement. Gently hammer the U-stakes through the pilot holes, one side of the stake at a time (so as not to bend the stakes).
5. Your Weedless Garden Plot installation is now complete and ready for planting. Figure 4 shows the completed installation of the Weedless Garden Plot with pre-cut holes.
Note: Plug any hole that is not being used for planting. Another suggestion is to place a flower in any vacant hole. It will add color and fragrance while enhancing the overall beauty of your garden plot.
