wow, learn something new everyday. Never heard of this netting stuff, I guess its one of those "instant landscaping" techniques.

I personally would not want any plastic under my plants, but it might be pretty hard to get that stuff out.
Seems like to me it would bind roots of larger bushes, trees and cut off circulation .

Hey Cris, great points. I think I'm going to just bite the bullet and remove all the netting by hand. I found some articles online about the sod mesh choking some root crops like carrots and potatoes. Plus, the idea of plastic in my soil doesn't sit very well with me.

Great book. Really opened my eyes up to looking at the big picture when it comes to gardening.

I'm interested in finding an easy to use program too. I have just been using google maps or google earth and printing out overhead pictures of my property to sketch on.
