Ground cover

Hi all

We 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 thanks

Hi all

Thanks 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 thanks

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.

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.
