Silt fence as a mulch?
I have about 200' of silt fence. Has anyone here used it as mulch on their garden?
Does anyone see a problem doing this?
Thanks in advance.

Bruce, silt fence is synthetic and it won't decompose, so using it as a "mulch" won't work. Now if you are planning on using it for a weed block, it may work, depending on if it lets enough water through.

Well...I think you said mulch...when you really meant something more like a weedblock with mulch on top?

The weed block products work great for a few years! Then the weeds will start to grow in the fabric. The roots are very hard to remove. I wished I'd never used it. Much easier to pull weeds with no weed block. I wished I'd never used it.
