    To be honest this way does work. I have 8 flowerbeds, and I use painting sheeting and then mulch and I never had a weed problem. It's been 7yrs. I also use the same sheeting for my driveway then added stone and I do not have not 1 weed in my driveway. But my neighbor laugh at me and said I like to work hard.5yrs later just the other day he stated he wish he did what I did in my driveway. I just lol and said yes hard work does pay off.

      There’s a big difference between using weed fabric versus painter’s sheeting. I 100% recommend two layers of thick painter’s sheeting. I 100% do NOT recommend “weed fabric”.

    For all the internet experts, fabric works, and it’s far easier to pull weeds from mulch and on top of the fabric than deep rooted weeds in dirt. We have used cardboard or newspaper under the fabric and it works great. Still needs once a month maintenance but far better than before. It just not the greatest for soil health long term. We recently switch to pine bark and use 4-6 inches deep and very few weeds. So far it’s been the same or better than fabric.

      It absolutely does not work. You can tell the "experts" who've maintained a bed or two for a year and promote fabric because they never witness the mess it makes, from the actual landscapers who take pride in their work and maintain beds long term.

      I have a one acre, heavily landscaped property, and I love weed barrier fabrc. I use it where my plants are not fully exposed to sunlight and the fabric works great. For the areas that do receive a lot of sun, I do not put anything down except Preen. Yes, I do get some weeds in these areas, but they are easily removed every few weeks.

    Dont use fabric on mulch. Google why! I own a landscaping business and i only use on rocks and i will use a more durable material. You are not fighting weeds with fabric. Just keeping your rocks from disappearing into the ground over the years. You will always fight weeds. That’s why you charge weed control monthly if you do maintenance as well 👍🏼

    I love my landscape fabric. Yes i get occasional weeds, usually after a year, but they're not growing through the fabric. They actually grow on top the fabric as the mulch breaks down and turns to soil for weed seeds and grass seeds to grow in. Rather than struggling to pull those pesky weeds/grass out of my hard clay soil, pulling them from the top of the fabric is so much easier.

      Yes, you’ll have to cut an “X” where you want to place the new plants. Then dig the hole (put that soil in a bucket so it doesn’t mix in with the mulch on the ground). Cut that little extra fabric from the “X” after you’ve completely planted. Then spread the mulch around that. It’s a little awkward but worth it. I have many gardens in my yard and only use this in gardens that are farther from the house that I don’t take care of that much.

I kept wondering why they weren’t filling out. This year I got out there, pulled back all the mulch and removed a lot of landscape fabric. I hope they spread now!

    Okay as a landscaper... Personally I would never tac the fabric, completely unnecessary. Dig your bed, remove grass layer w/roots, lay your fabric and overlap (as he said) THEN top soil, then some mulch. Mulch is really only necessary in your beds (don't put it around your trees).
    Landscape fabric can be held down by stones or simply toss some top soil on it to keep it layed out properly. Anything more than top soil to hold down your fabric is useless. If you have a pet that walks through your beds it'll be toast in a day.

    Cut a full circle around the shrub, allows better airflow and drainage. Secondly you should never put wood mulch on top of landscape fabric. Landscape fabric is only for in organic mulches such as rock.

    WRONG! The mulch will decay and become a wonderful medium for weeds to grow!!!!!!

    So what’s the point of the fabric if you just put mulch on top? Mulch turns into dirt, then weeds and grass can grow on top of fabric. A better solution would be to put rock on top of plastic or don’t use plastic at all if using mulch.

    The facbric is actually making the job harder there is no need for it. You need to put mulch on the dirt!!!!

    If you just get out there and weed once a week no problem weeds still come from up top and grow through the fabric

    If you’re gonna lay fabric. It’s better to put river rock on top. Weeds will still grow in mulch.

    Works 90 percent of the time. The only thing that will screw with this method is a windy day.

    Using woodchip is a terrible idea, it eventually turns to compost along with dust and other plant debris blown onto it, then the weeds grow on top giving you a crap job of removing it all and finally realising that you would of done better to use stones or slate chippings.
    If your underlay is unporous it will restrict water from entering soil underneath. X's in underlay means water to plants poking through but also mean weeds grow round plant. 👍

    You want the paper that’s away from the house to be under the one that’s closest to the house because of the slope when it rains all the debris will go under paper.
    Otherwise, nice job

    Remulch every year and don’t be lazy and pick the weeds. Leave the weeds in the bed to breakdown as nutrients . Or collect weeds and make a jadam style fertilizer

    Landscape fabric is only good for rock beds, definitely not flowerbeds where there's mulch applied. The mulch will compost into dirt, and the whole purpose is to feed and protect the shrubs and plants. It can't do that with fabric.

    Bushes are too close to the foundation. You never use landscape fabric under mulch either.

    Stop putting plastic in your garden , period . Soil underneath got no water , no air, seeds are going on top of your plastic in few months anyway .. thanks

    Doesn’t work, problem is all the mulch, pine needles eventually turn to dirt anyways and then comes the weeds. You can do rock, but as well it the dirt will get in in between rocks and cause weeds….Just keep herbicide and spray every 2 weeks.
