not really a good idea. it breaks down

garden soil.

landscape fabric with a four inch layer of
wood chips if you can get them for free.

after five to ten years they'll be partially
degraded and a great garden amendment. we
use quite a few of these. we'll worth the
effort.

if any weeds happen to try to get going in
them the weeds are easily pulled (get them
before they set seeds and/or spread or put
deep roots down which can find cracks to
get through the fabric or along the edges).


Hi Susan,

I'd personally be afraid of all the chemicals.
Maybe something hard, like pavers?

Or better yet , some boidegradable cardboard . Keeps weeds down , moiusture
in , and enrichens the soil as it decomposes . Most all boxes are now
printed with nontoxic inks , so no worries there .

some boxes are coated with a shiny layer
which is plastic. it is much better to not
use those, the more plain the better IMO,
black ink on the brownish/tan cardboard is
good, plain with no printing is best.


BTW , how old is the original post we're responding to ?

Tues, Apr 27, fairly recent. not sure if the
OP was responding to something else.
