We also like that anyone, including pets, can walk on the mulch edging. It also provides a little extra cushion for your knees when you’re doing garden chores. Keep in mind that the material is permeable, and although that is great for letting water into the soil, the fabric will weather over time and be less effective at keeping weeds from growing. Still, we recommend this product as a credible mulch alternative that’s easy to mow around.
