Poll: Do you use landscape fabric in your perennial beds?


Count me in as another NO! I use it under gravel and walkways and
nowhere else.

For perennial beds, if I have to do serious weed kill to start, I use
8+ layers of newspaper and then mulch/compost. I'm always amazed when
two or three months later I dig a hole for the latest new plant I
bought, and there is nothing green under the newspaper (but a lot of
worms).
