Why cover the soil with black fabric

Black mulching fabric 50 g/m² is a light non-woven cover laid on the soil under strawberries, vegetables and ornamental plantings. It does several jobs at once:

  • stops weeds from growing;
  • cuts moisture loss from the soil;
  • keeps berries and fruit clean;
  • protects roots from frost;
  • helps the soil warm up faster in spring.

For bed preparation and pinning the fabric down, read our guide to mulching with black fabric.

How many rolls you need

A roll is 3.2 m wide and 100 m long, which gives 320 m² of fabric. To estimate your order, divide the area by 320 and round up. A 1,000 m² plot comes to 3.1 rolls, so 4 rolls. One hectare comes to 31.25, so 32 rolls. Strips are usually overlapped, so if your figure is a tight fit, add one more roll.

Stakes and holders: what each one is for

Both are made of polypropylene and share the same size, 19 cm high and 30 mm wide, but they are not interchangeable in purpose.

  • Landscape fabric stakes hold mulching fabric, geotextile, film and other ground covers in place. Push them in along the edges of the fabric and at the joins. How many you need depends on the area and on how windy the site is.
  • Drip tube holders H19 cm stop the tube from shifting. Place them so the tube lies straight, especially at the start and end of a row and on bends.

Please note that we do not sell the drip tube itself, only the holders for it.

How to order

The price of a roll of fabric is agreed with a manager because it depends on volume. Send a request and you will get a figure. Farm and wholesale orders can be delivered on pallets.

Stakes and holders are sold individually, so you can buy just one, and the price is on the product page. From 10 pieces the cart applies a volume discount automatically, and from 50 pieces it is larger. Regular buyers can get a personal discount from a manager, as explained on the wholesale customers page.

Smaller orders ship by Nova Poshta, or you can collect from our warehouse at 20 Sviatoshynska St, Kyiv. You can pay on delivery, by invoice if you are a company or sole proprietor, or by IBAN transfer.
