Can this product be used to keep weeds from around a young tree?

sure...I can't see why not. It is very strong yet permeable.I am on my second year and it has held up completely

I haven't used it for that purpose. I have just been spraying weeds on the ground. Sorry I can't answer that for you

Well, no, probably not. You should look into an actual repellant, like the type designedto keep pets out of flower beds. Amazon stocks several of these.

It would be harder to use, for sure, but I still think it would work better than any other alternative. One would have to be slow and deliberate to get the prongs around the weed and down to the root, but I think it could be done.

I used it to control tree roots from getting in the garden, so it is buried with 12 inches or more of topsoil. If you use it for keeping weeds out of a rock garden, you would place the fabric on top of the topsoil. It seems to be keeping the tree roots out so far. I'm sure it would keep weeds from coming from below the fabric. But weeds still can grow above the fabric under the right conditions.

It shouldn't as it is really designed for pests. I would avoid putting direct, undiluted product directly on the flowers,shrubs, etc....I have not used mine yet, so I cannnot rate it's effectiveness yet. From the reviews, it sounds like it will work fairly well.

I think it would. I covered a weeded area that had grass and strong weeds. Nothing has grown through it.

Depending on your weather, this product should be used with temps not above the temp of what it states on bag. It works great , but should be used when weeds are actively growing and temps not in the 90s. If used in summer,with high temps the weed killers would not work.It is a great product, just follow directions and avoid the extreme heat of summer.

Since I didn't use it for this purpose, I am not sure if it would work for you or not. However, the product is pretty thick and I plan on tacking it up on my screened porch in the fall and leave until all of the spring pollen has gone. I know it is thick enough to keep the pollen out. I also use it for help in keeping paint off of my floors, etc.

I have a persimmon tree and this spray helped with all sorts of bugs that were ruining the fruits--even birds and squirrels. Just follow the directions on the bottle I sprayed one tree with no fruits and then sprayed another tree just twice each (I think I went overboard) that had fruits to see if anything would happened and no--all is good. I think this spray saved my tree and it's fruits. Good luck!

YES if there is enough direct contact. I have had no issue with spraying around bushes flowers etc, but if you do hit them with this accidentally, hose off with water thoroughly and hope for the best. Multiple applications on the Bermuda will be needed to keep it in check.

I have to disagree with "Jay" and say, in my experience, yes! I bought this specifically to keep deer out and it works. I live in a town that has no culling, so deer are everywhere. I just wrapped this around my plants and I didn't lose anything this year! What might have worked in my favor is that I didn't try to make a fence or anything. I container garden, so I just wrapped the netting around my plants so they were completely covered. The plants I didn't wrap, a few flowers, did get eaten toward the end of the summer.

I'm not sure. You might want to cover the wood, but it could also help protect the wood? Maybe google if you can use the product on wood?

I wouldnt recommend this product for anything, let alone trees. The concentration is too low. I sprayed it 4 times on just some regular weeds and it didnt do anything.

It will. I used similar weed barrier in just that fashion. However, I would recommend roto tilling the spot or spraying it first. Grass, especially Bermuda, is a real survivor and any advantage you can secure against it should be taken.

We have that darned stuff in our yard too. The Weed remover works pretty darned well, as long as your ground is damp from spring rains. Once it gets hard and dry, not so good. It's really kind of fun to pull the thistles and dandilions out using this device -- as long as the ground is damp, that is.

You could use it as the weed seedlings germinate, but you would have to consistently apply every 3 or 4 with this over several weeks. On the other hands, I found it is very effective on young thistle plants.
