5 Gro Grid Planting Mat 'B' for Leeks, Beetroot, Garlic, Salads etc
I mostly use the grow mat for growing garlic. I use the mats because like most people I hate weeding and have't the time for it, but I also want a good crop of garlic at the end of it. Problems with the mats are few and far between. Biggest problems are pinning them down especially during high wind and storms. But I'm beginning to formulate a plan for that

You can cut the mats easily with a scissors but we don't recommend it as it will leave an unsealed edge which may fray over time. If you need to cut it I would advise creating a hem by folding the edge over a couple of times (only a cm or so) and stapling along the seam with an ordinary stapler. That will ensure the mat lasts as long as possible. I have been using the same mat for 6 years now so they pretty much last for ever. I hope this helps. Andrew See full answer »
