...(snip)...If you have a moment to clarify?
First - thanks, I have a friend who first called me Barstool years ago as a bastardization of my middle name; Barstow. My propensity to have a beer or a glass of wine here or there made it apt and it has followed me all these years.
What I meant was that the idea of a membrane that effortlessly prevents all weeds, etc. is enticing. But the reality is that no membrane really does that - they all end up with debris in the mulch above that sprouts weeds, they shift and noxious things like bindweed will always find a way out. Better as a concept than application.
