Raybo, thanks for the advice! That helps.
The Typar fabric is polypropylene (a medium density plastic--between LDPE and HDPE). The Typar fabric is supposed to be very similar to the DuPont fabric. From what I have found (and information on the Jobe's fabric is very hard to find), the Jobe's fabric is plastic, but I have no idea what kind of plastic or any other specifications.
Is nylon, polypropylene, and plastic fabric all basically the same thing? I know that there is lots of different kinds of plastic.
I know that there is different weights/thickness, different air opening sizes/air
permeability, different water
permeability, and different puncture strength/tear resistance in landscape fabrics.

elight, from what DeWitt Company told me, all of Lowes dropped the DuPont fabric. Perhaps your Lowes store still had some stock left.
I will probably get the Jobe's fabric and hope for the best. Whatever I end up with, I'll plan to post at the end of the growing season how well it worked at keeping roots out of the water
reservoir.
