14 Weed control Mulching is a common agricultural practice that is also used in gardens and vegetable patches. Without using chemicals, mulching prevents weeds from growing around crops. TENAX has developed a wide range of synthetic films, covers and non-woven fabrics that, when spread around the crops, keep moisture in the soil and provide a light barrier, thus preventing weeds from growing in the soil and depriving crops of nutrients. When using nonwoven fabrics it is important to cover the material with bark to prevent early damage caused by exposure to the sun s rays.
