Flo Strawberry Fabric/Cover Fabric User Manual

Preparation: Remove all visible weeds and level the soil. Make sure the area is free of sharp objects that could damage the fabric.
Cutting: Measure the required length of fabric and cut it to size with a sharp knife or scissors. Make sure to cut the fabric in a straight line to prevent fraying at the edges.
Installation: Place the fabric over the desired area, making sure it covers the entire area without any wrinkles. If using multiple pieces of fabric, make sure they overlap slightly to prevent weeds from growing through the seams.
Fixing: Secure the fabric to the ground using ground pegs or pegs. Place pegs approximately 30 cm apart at the edges and in the middle of the fabric to ensure the fabric stays in place.
Covering: Cover the fabric with a material of your choice, such as mulch, gravel, or wood chips. This will improve the appearance of the fabric and increase its effectiveness in controlling weeds.
Maintenance: Check the fabric regularly to make sure it is still in place and intact. Repair any damage immediately to prevent weed growth.

How to choose the right roofing fabric

Edge reinforcement: Reinforced edges prevent fraying and extend the life of the fabric. This is especially important if the fabric is cut into smaller pieces.
Ecology: Choose an environmentally friendly option that reduces the need for chemical pesticides and promotes organic farming.
Intended use: Choose the fabric density and material according to the intended use – thin fabric is suitable for short-term use, while thicker fabric provides long-term protection.

Warnings

Do not install the fabric on an uneven area or one covered with sharp stones, as this may damage the fabric.
Use ground stakes or weights to ensure the fabric stays in place during strong winds or heavy rain.
Do not use mulch in areas where the soil must be fully permeable (e.g. direct planting areas of crops without mulch).
Make sure the fabric does not completely cover the plant roots without adequate watering, as this can hinder water absorption.
Despite UV protection, prolonged exposure to sunlight without a protective cover can reduce the durability of the fabric.
