Weed fabric won't keep weeds at bay for awhile. Best to use cardboard that isn't colored. And take any labels and stickers off. I don't use weed fabric in my garden or walkway. The last time I used weed fabric the weeds came through within a few months. Cardboard is much better as if you want to redesign your garden or pathways the cardboard breaks down. Weed fabric doesn't do that. I used it in my garden and not long I had weeds. I was told try cardboard. I did it. Easier to pull up plants then using weed fabric.
