beris Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi allWe intend to make some drought resistant flower beds, gravel gardens, and require some Phormisol to cover the area. There are lots of places in the UK where we can purchase this from, but can anyone help with location in France. We are in dept 12.Many thanksBeris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassis Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Almost all garden centres sell ground cover fabric. It's cheaper to buy it off the roll in 1.5 or 2.0m widths rather in the pre-packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 If you need a lot consider buying (or getting a price for) a whole roll. We got a discount when we did that but we are in the UK..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Also try the larger brico sheds, you'll probably find they're cheaper than the garden centres - certainly are in 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beris Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi allThanks for the information, yes we do need to by it by the roll as we have a lot of land to cover, I just thought that someone may know of a manufacture in France we could contact. The local towns seem to use it in large quantities for weed supression in the parks, and garden centres in poly tunnels, etc.Many thanksBeris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Dordogne Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 You could try looking in the advertisment section of the French gardening magazines, it could be there are bulk buy offers through those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassis Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 From memory, 50 metres off a roll 2 metres wide cost us about 120 euros from BricoMarché a couple of years ago.You need metal pegs to pin it down, especially on slopes; you can either buy them or it's cheaper to make them from small gauge iron rod as used for reinforcing concrete. A pair of cheap bolt cutters makes cutting to length easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Beris, we just asked our supplier for a a better price on a whole roll, it saved a lot of trouble finding suppliers, but we got ours from a place that sells paving slabs, landscape timbers etc, not a garden centre.As we were covering ours with gravel we didn't bother with metal pegs, just used large stones to keep it in place until it was covered with the gravel.
