Thread: AAAAGH! Home Depot landscape fabric is now brown!!!

Tweet

Just as I go to get a good supply of landscape fabric, I find they've started making it brown! I need black! Has anyone bought from other sources recently that have BLACK landscape fabric!?! I dread the idea of painting it all black.

Big lots had some black.

I too saw black landscape fabric in BIG LOTS last trip in. That's a bummer about the H.D. color though. It did look like online they still carried an Easy Gardener Products 4ft x 220 ft polypropylene landscape fabric Pro (42.97 roll) in black from the picture. Store SKU 564939.

I think Costco might have some some large rolls in black also.

Big Lots had smaller rolls of it and Costco had the larger rolls.

Kmart also had black

Dollar general- $5

Yep, I saw some good stuff at Big Lots that was black.

I hate to sound like such an amateur (which I am), but what do you use it for?

What do you use it for? Wrapping bodies for burial, of course! Just kidding. The uses are limitless for everything from covering walls, hiding things to drapping to create a "ceiling" . Any other uses out there?

Check other indie garden centers too, they generally have all sorts of landscaping fabric.

Mostly as an inexpensive non-shiny black background material (instead of black plastic for example). Terra does fantastic chroma depth wall panels that if you haven't seen her panels yet you should search for them. I believe they were in the tutorial section.

The landscape fabric comes in rolls of generally 3 to 4 feet wide (think maybe Terra found some at 5 feet wide if I recall correctly) making them great to do a blackout of a large area in a short amount of time. The fabric is also very light weight. Sometimes you see it or something like it stapled to the underside of upholstered furniture pieces.
