Second- If you cover any weed barrier you 100% will eventually have weeds grow on top of it. For garden use I don't recommend putting anything over it unless it is pine straw or something similar that wont break down rapidly into soil. Straw works well too but really no point unless you just hate the way it looks.

So, Big Van Vader and others, do you have a favorite brand of weed barrier? I have been thinking about DeWitt Pro-5 but would be interested in others experiences with other brands. My garden used to be a pasture and still wants to be, so need something to keep down the grass or I may give up! Thanks for all replys.
