If you already have a landscape fabric in place, you will need to make holes in it to keep plants and shrubs.
But, before beginning the process, ensure that your knife is sharp and can cut through the fabric easily. If you are not confident, make a small dent to see if it can pierce through. I will now move on to discussing the process of how to cut holes in landscape fabric.
Read on!
Plants will need direct contact with the soil, hence, you cannot place them on landscape fabric. While these sheets allow water to percolate through, your plant may lack the nutrition it needs to grow. Moving on, I have divided the process into steps to make it easier to understand this section.
First of all, you will need to lay the plants that will be placed in that particular area. You can place them on top of the landscape fabric. Ensure that there is enough space left between the two plants.
I recommend following the plant tags to know how much space is required. Otherwise, the roots could get entangled, and the plant could die.
Once you have placed them right, you will need to measure the size of the pots. Check the diameter of each to understand the size of the hole needed.
After you have placed them all in position and the sizes have been measured, you can make a mark wherever required. Just make an X shape with a knife on the fabric. I recommend using a utility knife for this purpose.
Every line of the ‘X’ that you make should be double the diameter of the pot that needs to be placed. Once you have done that, you can move on to the next step.
Now take your knife and fold the fabric near the edges of the ‘X’ mark. You can use the knife to cut any part that is still attached. With this, you will have made proper holes in the landscape fabric.
Once the plants are in place, you can cover the landscape fabric with rocks, mulch, and soil to make it look aesthetic. But, never do this before making the holes, as the process can become a lot more difficult.
Also, use proper metal staples to keep the fabric in place before making the holes. Otherwise, it can move, and you may not be able to make the right cut.
I have finally reached the end of this guide, and it is time to wrap up. Let me know if you have any further questions. I can then answer some of them in future guides.
Until next time, goodbye.
