For years I have felt like I was pulling the same weeds over and over again in the exact same locations, in my garden pathways. Rye grass, crab grass, goldenrod. I would pull weeds for hours and two days later they’d be back.
I used high-quality landscaping fabric and gravel in my pathways-and it was stunning and weed-free for a couple of months. Then it became a nightmare to keep weed-free. It was during a random conversation with a family member that I discovered the problem… landscaping fabric. I pulled it up and waited a month before creating and sharing this video to make sure this really worked. And it’s been a complete game-changer.
So if landscaping fabric is a no-go, what to use in the future? I’ll be sticking with heavy-sheet-mulching with cardboard, compost and soil. This approach hasn’t steered me wrong yet in creating growing spaces. In the future, I’ll do the same on walkways, personally.
