    Yes,I too hate weed mat.
    What usually happens though is not so much the weeds breaking through.
    The mulch that you put ontop of the weedmat decomposes, weed seesds germinte & the roots go through thre weedmat.
    You go to pull out the weed & the weedmat lifts, the mulch goes eveywhere & it all looks carp!
    Cheers Fred.

    Had a good one like that ....two front garden beds with thigh high (am about 6ft3) weeds and replace mulch with tons (literally) of white pebbles

    Doing my last job of the day and under some pressure time wise to organise myself as several motorcyclists are to visit at home tomorrow (Friday) for a sleep over. Then embark on 4 day alpine ride with me. ( yes we know about the Alpine road closure re rock slide)

    A lady comes over to me from across where I was working in bit of a panic in bare feet and swearing and telling me to drop my equipment with no explaination to do this and that with me having no idea of what was going on.

    Turns out to be a full grown red belly snake in her front garden moving about under some debri within a big pittosporum hedge.
    Told her to ring the Council who will get hold of a snake catcher as we have three of them to deal with it.
    She proceeds to poke the hedge, remove rubbish whilst dressed in a summers frock and bare footed. I'm a lawn mowing guy not a snake catcher. I scored no positive points with her I'm afraid.
    Cheers Garry

    Learnt a great lesson today: when you give someone a quote for a small lawn and if through five emails and forty minutes of phone calls they waste your time and screw you around- it is very satisfying to tell them that you won't be providing the OCD service they require and they can find someone else.

    It doesn't wreck the card when you cut through the little strips?

    Flies have kicked in the last couple of days. Holding a hedger and flies crawling in your ears and up the honka makes me grumpy
