Why Landscape Fabric Doesn't Work

Many gardeners use weed or landscape fabric to prevent weeds in a landscape or garden. Here's why this doesn't work in reality:

• Since mulch decomposes, within a year or two there will be soil instead of mulch on top of the fabric.
  
• Because of this, weeds will germinate between the fabric and the mulch.
  
• The best alternative to landscape fabric is using a pre-emergent, which will kill weeds from the start.
