weed suppresant membrane
am working on a garden that has weed suppressant membrane covering all the flower beds. Is this neccesary as it makes it difficult to dig and cultivate and plant new plants. My thinking is it would be better to remove it so beds can be improved and made ready for further planting

depending on how large an area u are talking about and how long the barrier has been down it might not be a huge chore to remove but if u dont want it there then get rid of it. some ppl like using landscape fabric or other barriers to help keep weeds under control, but others dont care for it at all. if u do decide to keep it u can cut out the area that u wish to add new plants into and then after doing so apply a new layer of mulch. i guess everyone has their way of doing things . good luck . cyaaaaaaaaaaa, sockiescat. |

And as organic material finds its way onto the barrier, you will get new weeds growing on top of it anyway.
