weaved ground cloths come in many diameters. They are uv stable and last for decades. If you grow on top of them your plants will increase in size by a third to a half produce more flowers, seed, fruit and grow faster. Example: You can plant in cinder blocks on top of the cloth adding and confining the necessary humus for your seedlings or transplants in the blocks. You can then space your plants as needed for best exposure to the elements and each other.
You don't disturb the soil biome this way which is mighty important, so no weeds seedlings preferring disturbed ground will emerge. You will need much less water because the fabric will contain it daily each morning directly under the planting. Ground fabric is a good way to use oil. No repairs necessary. Much less wear and tear on you. This is not an idle suggestion. Been doing it for decades. Happily.
