    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
