I have used it very sucessfully between my rows of raspberry canes, but you have to be careful, I would only use canvas/felt backed carpet if you are leaving it for a long time as I have found anything else will disintegrate into small pieces and it takes longer to clean them up than to dig the weeds. Wool is best if you can get it. I would not recommend using foam backed stuff or underlay.
