[AT] Garden question

[Herb Metz]

Black silt fence, 3' wide,  is removed from construction sites once a good 
stand of grass is established. Normally, contractors do not have an 
immediate reuse for this silt fence, so it is hauled to the landfill. 
Landfills charge them; I don't. It is very similar to landscape fabric. 
Seldom is there a weed; it reduces  loss of moisture from sun and/or wind, 
and one can walk in garden soon after a rain and not get a mud buildup on 
one's shoes. There is a 4' wooden post approx every 20'; sometimes I remove 
these posts, depends on the application. Herb(GA)
