FAQ
How many rolls of mulch film do I need?
Total length = row length × number of rows × (1 + waste), divided by roll length and rounded up. e.g. ten 50m rows at 10% waste = 550m → 3 rolls of 200m.
How do I enter the film spec?
Film is sold as width × length (e.g. 90cm × 200m). Match the width to the bed and enter the roll length to get the roll count.
What waste factor?
About 10% is typical for end anchoring, overlap and loss.
