I bought some Mypex sheet from you for a raised strawberry bed. It looks fine but water seems to sit on the surface. I thought it was meant to be water permeable - is there a right and wrong way up for it?

If I cover my vegetable patch with farmyard manure in late autumn could I cover it with Mypex over winter and would there be any benefit to so doing.
