    hi all

    Please could you tell me the best make or place to get the dark sheets to stop weeds growing under my gravel?

    I've used Wickes for this in the past.

    If you want the best stuff then avoid the pound shops/Lidl etc, a good Garden Centre might be the place for advice, all I've ever used was that Wickes stuff, under bark and slate chippings, it's lasted years.

    I got some from B&Q the other day, it was right next to the "branded" stuff and was a lot cheaper. 1m x 10m rolls were something like £6? Seems like it's doing a belter of a job at the moment under my decking and lining my planters
