- [Roots Grow Through It]: Unlike other weed barriers, you don’t need to cut holes in the RootThru Weed Barrier. Plant your seeds directly on the barrier, cover them with compost or potting mix, and watch them grow through it, while weeds stay below the barrier. No more weeds growing through the weed barrier holes around your plants!
- [Made from Sustainable Materials]: This weed barrier is 100% biobased, made from sustainably sourced paper and plant-based polylactic acid (PLA). This renewable product contributes to a regenerative agricultural system and biocircular economy.
- [Permeable]: The RootThru Weed Barrier is permeable to air, water, and plant roots from above, but not weeds trying to grow through it from below. Rain and irrigation water travel freely through the barrier to help reduce your water use through the season.
- [Improves Soil and Plant Health]: This weed barrier eliminates the need for soil-damaging tillage to control weeds, and our sustainable materials improve soil structure and health. The white color of the barrier reflects sunlight, increases photosynthetically active radiation in the plant canopy, prevents extreme soil temperatures, and improves plant growth.
- [Many Applications]: The barrier can be easily cut and shaped to fit rows, beds, and gardens of any size, soil type, or plant types. It also works great as a traditional weed barrier around trees and shrubs, and in annual garden beds, vegetables, and flowers.
RootThru is a geotextile fabric made from 100% plant-based, sustainable materials. With RootThru, you plant your seeds directly on the barrier and watch them grow and root through it. RootThru is permeable to air, water, and plant roots from above, but controls weeds below, and is an alternative to hand weeding and herbicides for narrowly spaced plants. Any seed can be planted on RootThru including vegetables like lettuce, spinach, carrot, kale, beet, pea, and onion, and flowers like zinnia, sunflower, coneflower, marigold, snapdragon, or daisy.
