Mulching Film vs Agrofabric – What to Choose?

H2: What’s the Purpose of Mulching?

Mulching controls weeds, regulates soil temperature, improves moisture retention, and boosts plant health.

H2: Option 1 – Mulching Film

Pros:

• Blocks light 100%, excellent weed control

• Warms soil faster – ideal for thermophilic crops (tomatoes, peppers)

• Often biodegradable (e.g. Agrimpex BIOFilm)

Cons:

• Requires precise installation

• Not breathable — may trap too much moisture

H2: Option 2 – Agrofabric (Ground Cover)

Pros:

• Breathable and water-permeable

• Excellent for perennial crops, strawberries, blueberries

• Reusable and durable over seasons

Cons:

• Weeds may grow through poorly anchored edges

• Does not warm soil as quickly as film
