Can you cut a piece of Mypex into smaller lengths before sending? I don't have access to a blow torch and understand one is needed or ends will fray.

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.

Is this product definitely water permeable? I bought a similar product and testing it, water remained pooled atop for days afterwards so I had to punch many holes in it which rather undoes the point! Thanks.
