The film is very easy to cut, in my case with a cheap budget sheet cutting scissors. Laying for this purpose, however, is very laborious and time consuming, which has nothing to do with the film itself, but with the intended use. I thought 0.5mm thickness would be less stable and it flexibly. But this is not so. So if you like intends should so use a pond liner only with large and wide Aushüben. For smaller plants and correspondingly small planting holes laying is an eerie puzzle. Then better access to even thinner foil or at pots without soil.
