IT's my understanding, Pam, that landscape cloth will not keep suckers and runners from emerging because they do not rely on direct light for their energy source, so...you wind up with emerging plants lifting your fabric and a hell of a mess. Not saying this from experience, only from what I was told when I put in my berry patches.
I'm considering buying landscape fabric for "permanent" aisle mulching in
raspberries and blueberries. I've never used the stuff before, so I'd welcome
hearing others' experience. Sounds like the woven sort would be more
durable than the non-woven, yes? Which brands have worked well, or poorly
for folks? Where can I get good prices? Any tips about installing it. I plan to
put drip tape underneath, and sawdust or wood chips on top, to keep
sunlight off, and maximise its life. Any comments, anyone?
