Abstract
The present invention includes a landscaping apparatus for inhibiting plant growth on the ground, the apparatus containing a member including an elongated strip having a longitudinal axis and sides spaced apart from the longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal axis and the sides are substantially within a plane containing the member when the member is substantially flat. One or more projections extend from the member and are used to fix the member to the ground by inserting the projections into the ground. In one embodiment, the projections are integrally formed with the member and the member is made from a substantially flexible material.
Claims22
A landscaping apparatus for inhibiting plant growth on ground, comprising:
- a member comprising an elongated strip having a longitudinal axis and sides spaced apart from the longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal axis and the sides are substantially within a plane containing the member when the member is substantially flat;
- and
- a plurality of projections extending from the member, wherein the projections are integrally formed with the member.
A landscaping apparatus for inhibiting plant growth on ground, comprising:
- a first member comprising an elongated strip having a longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal axis is substantially within a plane containing the first member when the first member is substantially flat, and a channel connected to the first member, wherein the channel is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a second member comprising an elongated rod having a plurality of projections, wherein the second member may be inserted into the channel;
- wherein the plurality of projections has at least a portion of the projections substantially outside the plane when the second member is inserted into the channel.
A method of using a landscaping apparatus for inhibiting plant growth on the ground, comprising:
- providing a member comprising an elongated strip having a longitudinal axis and sides spaced apart from the longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal axis and the sides are substantially within a plane containing the member when the member is substantially flat;
- providing one or more projections extending from the member;
- and
- substantially securing the member to the ground by pushing the one or more projections into the ground
- wherein the landscaping apparatus covers a portion of ground and inhibits plant growth on the portion of ground.
A landscaping apparatus for inhibiting plant growth on ground, comprising:
- a member comprising an elongated strip having a longitudinal axis and sides spaced apart from the longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal axis and the sides are substantially within a plane containing the member when the member is substantially flat;
- and
- a plurality of projections extending from the member, thereby securing the member against the ground.
