QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
Remove sharp stones and other debris from the ground. Cut the weeds and level the ground. Fertilize the ground before installing the fabric. Overlap the fabric ca. 5 - 10 cm. The edges are dug into the ground and fixed with substrate. The fabric can also be fastened with wooden or steel pins. Holes or x-shapes are cut out for the plants. Bark or mulch is spread on the surface. It protects the fabric from UV-radiation and lenghtens the lifespan of the fabric.
