"I'm thrilled with my Garden Mats. This is my second garden season using them. They do everything as promised: moderate soil temperature (great for warm season crops), keep weeds down, and keep moisture in. The time that is normally used weeding is spent doing other things. An added bonus in our garden is that our free-range chickens will peck and scratch around newly planted crops, often killing tender seedlings. They don't do this in the Garden Mat sections of the garden. So I give them their other areas where they do their thing and the Garden Mats protect the seedlings I want protected. Thank you for a great product."

"I have a large area and last year I purchased 4 mats just to see how it helped with the weeds. I was concerned that they would not let water through evenly when I placed them. But they did very well and saved me untold hours of weeding. So this year I decided to order more and cover another large area. I think I will be on the golf coures instead of in the garden pulling weeds!!"

"Are you guys on Facebook? I just put two photos of our garden on there. I cannot take a good enough picture. Pictures don't do it justice. I cannot BELIEVE the amount of produce that we have this year. With less than half the work! What with our rain barrels and the mats, our water consumption is down! Our romas are the size of beefsteaks. Unbelievably great product!"

"Just a note to let you know that I have used your mats for over a year (Florida has gardening all year long) whoo-hoo!! I love your mats, they reduce weeding by 99 percent. Because of our daily/weekly rains weeds run rampant in a vegetable garden and your mats are a weeding saver. Not only does it keep the weeds down, but if you don't step all over the mat it also keeps the soil friable. What a great idea you had. Can't say enough good things about your mats. Easy to clean, easy to put down, easily the best veggies I have ever grown. THANKS."

"Garden Mats work great, especially for tomatoes, broccoli, and other bedding plants.  The pre-measured holes in rows work well and make it easier to sow and manage the plantings without weeding."

"Spacing and organizing the garden was much easier. Weeding was virtually non-existent where we used the Garden Mats. We have a heavy crab grass invasion and the garden mats controlled it easily. Where we did not use the garden mats we had to weed constantly to stay ahead of the crab grass. We liked the increased soil temps for hot hungry plants. We like the pre-measured spacing for different plants, too. We had a very cool and wet spring and early summer. I have struggled for years to get a crop of eggplants. This year all my eggplants produced lovely fruits. I don't think I would have gotten any without Garden Mats. Tomatoes did very well, too."

"I currently have three raised beds. Last year I left one bed uncovered, covered the second bed with another product and used Garden Mats on the third. I fought with weeds all growing season with the uncovered bed and had a substandard crop. The second bed was covered with a well-known product but it was totally ineffective. Weeds grew under the cover raising the cover off the ground 5-6 inches. This was more of a nightmare than the uncovered bed. The third bed was covered with Garden Mats and proved almost maintenance free. It had no weeds growing under it and produced an abundant crop. In the fall I simply brushed it off and rolled it up for storage. Next season I will cover all three beds with Garden Mats."

"The results were great. I estimate that the yield was increased by 10-20% and I was able to grow a longer season fruit. I always recommend that people mulch. This type of groundcover produces the same results and is especially valuable if you have weed issues. I prefer the reusability and the permeability of Garden Mats over the other ag products."

"I do not have the best soil. It has a lot of clay and loam, so when it rains, like last year, I can lose a lot of money. But the cukes I grew using the Garden Mats did incredibly well. I want another 100' Garden Mat for tomatoes this year. Garden Mats work wonderfully."

"I grew onions, tomatoes, radished, beets, cukes, green and yellow squash, beans, and lettuces. The results were very good. Garden Mats were easy to work with and there was almost no weeding. Give Garden Mats a try. They make planting much easier and cuts down weeding almost completely. I ordered custom Garden Mats. I just told Peter the size of my garden and gave him a list of what I wanted to grow. He designed the best layout for my garden. I can even move the Garden Mats around to rotate the crops from year to year."

"A simple, intelligent idea. I save a lot of time weeding and watering. I would recommend this to a friend."

We loved your product - it worked great! It was amazing even during a drought. In fact we were gone for one whole week in July and when we got back home, I figured our basil would be withered up and dead. But it was lush and green, ready for harvest! And the squash on the mats produced about 30% more than the other plants. :) Thanks for such a useful product.
