RE: Common Gardening Mistakes - Landscape Fabric!
I put my garden beds in with amended, double dug soil and then lots of mulch. At least 4 to 5 inches. I go around every few days and pluck the few weeds I see. Since I don't walk on the soil, weeds are easy to pull.
I think this fall I will dig up more of the bed. It seems that the previous owners put down a lot of rocks underneath the soil and there is some unevenly poured cement at the edge of the garden area. So, who knows what surprises I will find. But, that's been the case all around the yard. I was told by the neighbor that previous owners would get tired of an indoor plant and just throw it in the backyard, which is why I have ferns and other stuff in the area I refer to as "the jungle".
