Prepare the area
1. It is important to prepare the ground before laying your matting. Ideally weed the area and/or strim to create a flat surface.

Laying the mats
2. Notch or pit plant your plant and, if using plant support or guard, insert stake or cane. Then wrap your mat around its base, ideally overlapping the edges slightly to avoid weeds breaking through.

Pegging the mats
3. Secure the mat tightly in place with pegs or metal pins. We recommend 5 pegs or pins – located in the four corners and one in the middle of the overlap slit. If using, install plant guard.

TIP: We recommend using an extra 4 pegs or pins if you are using your square weed mat in a windy location. Position these extra pegs or pins between the corners.
