Just because you’re working toward a chemical-free organic garden, that doesn’t mean that you can’t use modern technology to help you along. Consider, for example, landscape fabric. This fibrous material can be laid on a prepared bed and covered over with soil or mulch to keep weeds from coming up into your flowerbed or garden.
You can also use landscaping fabric to smother existing weeds. It’s permeable to water, and while most varieties are extremely durable, you can usually pierce it as necessary in order to provide your own plants spaces to grow through. Even if you do have weeds come up in your garden, from seeds that were already present in the top layer of soil or mulch, they won’t be able to develop good root systems and will be easy to pull up.
