Landscaping pins are needed during the installation of your weed mats! Dalen’s garden staples are made in the USA, come in various sizes, and work great with landscaping fabric. They can also be used to help install various other products.

Spraying chemical weed control can result in these substances staying in the soil for years, and eventually making their way into the fruits and vegetables you consume. Fortunately, Dalen Products offers safer and healthier alternatives for killing weeds. 

Gard'n Paper is one such alternative that controls weeds without using toxic herbicides or noxious weed killers. By using this method, you can stop invasive plant growth before it even starts. It's especially important to minimize toxins and chemicals in your vegetable garden or anywhere you're growing herbs or food for your kitchen. Protect the food you eat and the soil in which it grows by avoiding chemical sprays that can negatively impact soil biology. Instead, opt for sustainable alternatives like sheet mulching paper to control invasive growth and maintain healthy topsoil.

In permanent landscaping beds, Weed-X is the best weed fabric on the market for stopping invasive plant growth.
