I may have to backtrack(mis-spoke in Liberalize)on the thickness of the plastic. The thickest I could find at Lowes was 6mil. I do not know where ours is at to check, but my wife does.
This is the 6 mil plastic I bought for my greenhouse. Only, I see it’s gone up by ten bucks since I bought mine.

Apparently Home Depot has it at a better price.
Just read this Amazon Review from Sept ‘13:
“I had this in my Amazon cart, but when I stopped in at the big orange home improvement store (H.D.) not sure if I’m allowed to mention the actual name here.
I found the same exact 6mil 20x25 clear plastic sheeting for $25.”
The thickest I could find thusfar is 3.4 mil. , but it will do for now.
Thanks for the 'heads-up ' for Lowes 6 mil.; 6 mil makes the plastic more versatile for a variety of chores around the house .
Yeah , I hear you about the Preen ground cover .
It seems that about a month ago, I got the last roll at my local Sam's Club , and the price was $30.oo .
So I have it now for next years garden , but have to weed the garden out for now ..
Good to know that it is reusable , and will last several years ; the purchase was a thoughtful whim about possible avaoiding stoop labor. Two nights ago , we got hit with 23 º temps( killing frost); todays high in the mid-50's so today is leaf raking and compost pile building.
