Fabric-- Oh, Dave..
Just yesterday I was gathering weird little black fluff balls where my old fabric is really fraying apart. I am about to ditch all the old fabric for good. Granted, it is years old. I used it in the veg garden paths, and take it up and move it now and then. I've also used it to cover the fall leaf pile, trying to keep it moist and collected.
I think my garden paths this year will be mulched first in dried up chickweed
and then- we now know where we can get bulk wood mulch, so that may be my choice.
I planted swiss chard, beet, and bush beans yesterday
