I figured the same. We've been spreading them out in the (formerly) wooded area behind the lanai.
Might get a crop of mushrooms, 'shrooms love spent grain.
sounds like you're getting a dag.We're getting a fence installed and will soon have the space to garden too.

Got the first 300’ roll of 6’ wide weed mat down.
I don’t know why I thought one roll would be enough.
Also, came up with a neat, easy, reusable system to anchor the matting down.
2’ rebar driven through a 6” square piece of wood that has 4 screws sticking out the bottom to grip the weed mat.
Placed 4 along each 48’ seam.
Needed the 2’ rebar because the dirt is so fluffy now

mutual has higher tensile strength, greater water permissivity, less stretch.
the puncture on the sunbelt is awesome though. 5x the mutual.
honestly, either one is fine, you can drive a dumptruck over both of em daily for years with no damage.

I initially had the idea to put the stuff in the clearing that @APRIL made behind our house. She sorta has the idea to have a nice biergarten area back there. Then I realized that even we used plastic mulch, the trees will drop leaves, turn into soil, and we're right back to the same problem - only now we'd need to remove yards of weed barrier that has grown into the soil.
Guess we'll (she'll) just mow it.
