A ground cover is generally made of plastic or cloth. It works by stopping the supply of sunlight to the weeds, thereby killing them. Organic versions of ground covers can be simple mulch or bark. Some people also use newspaper for this purpose.
A high quality ground cover will suppress the growth of weeds, while at the same time providing sufficient drainage for the soil underneath, so that it stays moist and nourished.
Before purchasing a ground cover, take into consideration the qualities that are most important to you. Measure the size of the flowerbed to determine the ground cover dimensions. Plastic ground covers are considerably cheaper than the fabric versions.
However, plastic ground covers do not have the same porosity, do not let water seep through to the ground, and are not environmentally friendly. If you choose a plastic ground cover, you can use a pitchfork to poke holes in it, to allow for drainage.
Fabric ground covers are more environmentally friendly, offer sufficient drainage, and last longer. Some of the main qualities to look for in a ground cover include durability, and resistance against fungus, mold and tears.
