Possibly the craziest example of plastic use for weed barrier I’ve come across. 6. In or more biomass completely carpeted together on top of like 10 mil plastic.

I crave more photos of this solid carpet of roots above the plastic. That’s gnarly

Now that’s a fucking shovel

My old place had a 6’ strip of gravel around the above ground pool. The weed barrier was an old pool solar cover cut into strips and most of one end was several layers of the bags the the gravel came in. All of it was disintegrated and impossible to pull up.

I ran into this exact scenario on a garden bed renovation. Was supposed to just be your standard clean out and start over. Got to scraping and pulling and nothing was moving or coming up. Then I started finding layers of plastic and landscape fabric mixed with roots. What should have maybe been a half day job turned into two full days of some of the hardest pulling and tearing out I’ve ever done by hand in my years of doing this.

Those are good shovels.

Can the mass of dirt and roots be laid back down after the plastic is removed?
