I have yet to spike a tie, but my experience with weed mats are laughable. I do landscaping as a hobby business. I have found people 10 to 1 againgt the fabric because after 2 to 3 years weed seeds land on top of the mat and their roots grow down through it. Then it is really tough to pull out. You end up with fast growback from the remaining root. After that it's round up and a paintbrush for spot applications. Fabric In my opinion is a great accessory sale at the garden center, High profit that leaves the store owner smiling at the extra sale. It isn't done maliciously, like the step in edgers her in WI. Frost pushes it back up under your lawnmower blades so they can sell you more. Great sales items, but poor usefulness.
