No. Weed barriers are generally recommended in areas that have a particular weed problem or those areas where Bermuda grass is being removed. If a weed barrier is used, it must be permeable, such as fabric or mesh.

Newspapers definitely have a use as a free, biodegradable, weed barrier which can be used in places where you have a weed problem. Because it can appear unsightly, especially when the wind catches it and blows it around, it is best to use it under your mulch. It needs to be several sheets thick to do the job. 4 or 5 sheets thick should stop all but the most noxious weeds. It may help to wet the newspaper before you lay it out. See similar questions...

Any rainwater we receive would run off and be wasted if you had an impermeable weed barrier. In addition, not allowing water and air to pass through can cause serious damage to the plants in the area and surrounding area. Also, the heat of the summer here can cause plastic covering to become brittle and break up, causing it to look unattractive. See similar questions...

The location of the vapor barrier depends on the climate. For homes in Florida, we do not recommend a vapor barrier, but highly recommend a rain barrier and an air infiltration barrier. In Florida, nailing on paper (which is black tar paper) backed lath to cdx and then stuccoing over it and then painting with elastrometric paint works well. Don't need to paint cdx. The best way to dispel the heat is to block the direct solar radiation before it gets to the window. See similar questions...

We endorse regular trimming and edging over wood that can rot or plastic that will dry out. Gary has used edging in the past, at the homeowners request. We recommend a more permanent edging such as concrete curbing, stone, or brick, however this is simply a matter of owner- designer preference. See similar questions...

If the weeds are growing on the ground at the shore or are above the waterline, use PondMaster® Surface & Shoreline Herbicide. For submerged weeds, use PondMaster Aquatic Herbicide. PondMaster Blue is a colorant that will also help control aquatic weeds by restricting the wavelength of sunlight penetrating the water. See similar questions...

Answer: Any edging may be used if drilled or modified with 3/8 inch or larger drain holes every 1-2 feet, in the center width of the edging. This will allow the water to bleed through the edging. Normal edging is usually 3-4 inches in width. See similar questions...

Dollar weed, also known as pennywort, often grows in an over-watered lawn. Lawns are frequently over watered in the summer in central Florida. To prevent this weed in the future, make sure your sprinkler system is calibrated to water the lawn no more than one inch per application, once or twice a week depending on rainfall. If your lawn is St. Augustine, November is the time to use the herbicide atrazine, with a repeat application three to four weeks later. See similar questions...

Each barrier has a left and right side, depending upon the direction you input it. As you walk along the barrier in the direction of input, the left side of the barrier is to your left, the right side to your right. In all graphical views, TNM draws barriers as arrows, to show their input direction and thereby their left and right sides. You may have to zoom in on a barrier to see the arrows.

This will depend on many factors. The principal concern is does the construction have enough of a barrier to adequately contain the fuel potential contained in the mattress? The next concern is to ensure that the respective sizes of the mattress and foundation lend them selves to the form and size of the barrier. For example, we offer two sizes tubular of knit interliner in each of two weights. This is to provide the same level of barrier performance for all mattress sizes. See similar questions...

High-level noise generators such as planers, joiners and shapers are difficult to treat if they are positioned in the middle of the room vs. along a wall. By suspending HSKNC Acoustical Barrier Curtains from the ceiling as divider panels, you can absorb and block sound. Weather it's simply a divider curtain panel or a four sided enclosure with material entrance and exit ports (cut out on location), the HSKNC Curtain greatly improves the noise level in your shop, home or office.

Radiant Barrier is a material that is a poor re-transmitter of infrared waves (radiant energy). By definition, this re-transmission characteristic (emissivity) must be at or below 10%. The emissivity of Reflectix? products is approximately 3%. Therefore, when a Radiant Barrier is installed in a residential attic, it "blocks" 90% + of the radiant energy that is being radiated by the hot roofing materials. See similar questions...

Depends upon if you have decided upon rock or mulch for landscape bedding. Mulch serves as a natural weed barrier and does not require fabric. Landscape beds finalized with rock are well served with a landscape fabric weed barrier. Rock and mulch are a matter of preference. Rock is initially more expensive because of the actual cost of the rock and the labor for installation. However, you won't have to replenish the rock, whereas mulch needs to be replaced annually.

If we rate every option in state space by its achievement against some criteria then we can plot that rating as a fitness value on another dimension, a height that gives the appearance of a landscape. The result may be a single smooth hill (a correlated landscape), many smaller peaks (a rugged landscape) or something in between. See similar questions...

No. When crimping Sta-Kon terminals, splices or disconnects the only tested and UL listed tools are Sta-Kon tools. See similar questions...

Answer: While this question may seem obvious to many, it is a question that is asked every day by thousands of homeowners interested in having a landscape master plan prepared for their homes.
