ABSTRACT:
A foldable artificial mulch cover has a slit installation feature with an intact periphery. The cover includes a flexible flat sheet, a central opening defined in the sheet for passage of the stem of the plant, a slit defined in the sheet extending along a line passing through-the central opening in the sheet with each end of the slit terminating adjacent to but inwardly from a perimeter edge of the sheet, a plurality of paired apertures for the passage of U-shaped staples to secure the sheet to the ground, a fold line passing through the central opening with each end terminating at the perimeter edge of the sheet and being perpendicular to the slit, and a plurality of slots for the passage of water through the sheet. The slit so defined provides a continuous peripheral portion of the sheet surrounding the slit and extending between the opposite ends thereof and the perimeter edge of the sheet that remains in an intact condition while opening of the slit is permitted for facilitating the fitting of the sheet as a single piece over the plant and down around the stem of the plant to an installed position on the ground.
