Bought the 3' x 6' version of this weed barrier and it worked well. Vevor was out of that size when I reordered. This was closest material in that price range. This 6.5' x 300' material seems to repel water, at least repels for several minutes. I did not time how long water would pool. The first barrier would allow water to seep in a few minutes. This is not a deal breaker though. It might allow water to run in holes made for planting and to the very thing that needs water. A $6 butane torch from tobacco shop works perfectly in cutting barrier to length and carving holes for plants. I believe I will like the results.
