Default killing the grass

Yes it will kill your grass but it is a very dangerous way to do it and not environmentally friendly either. If somebody drops a cigarette what will happen? and it will make it difficult if not impossible to grow anything in afterwards. I have been renovating an old house and garden over the last few years and have put old carpet upside down so that you see the hessian side - ideally then cover with bark mulch. It does a great job with no harm to anybody. Natural carpet- wool breaks down and lets the rain etc pass through. Synthetic carpet will do the job too but obviously does not rot as well or let moisture through easily so it can get a bit soggy. I hope this helps
