Weed Membrane

Morning!

I hope someone can help, I have a large steep slope at the end of my garden, approximately 1 in 3!

I have quite a lot of planting on the slope, about 3 plants per sqm, but there is still quite alot of bare soil which I'm concerned may quickly bulk up with weeds. Can anyone suggest a membrane product that is as durable as black polythene, but has a mulch finish?

I can't simply use a standard membrane and mulch as the mulch just keeps slipping down, and I cant terrace the slope without either making the slope steeper or encroaching on the rest of my garden.

Thanking you all in advance.

Roger

A warm welcome to the forum Dozer136.

I have a similar problem coming up soon, it's underneath a long run of solar panels.

I have been looking into Astro Turf, but this will work out very expensive.
So i too will be interested if there is a alternative.

Coconut matting?
Willow or hazel hurdles?

Vinca Major? :D
