Is it heavy enough to keep strong weeds like Himalayan blackberry down? I would think they can break through a layer of mulch made of this (as opposed to wood chips).

- hinkley 6y agoNo shovels. Mattock. You don’t want to cut the roots, you want to get them all. For bad infestations: broadfork.
- hinkley 6y agoThe trick with Himalayan blackberries is loosening the soil so you can dig them out more easily every time, Weed, amend, weed again.
