Landscape Fabric: Soil Health Risk
Be careful using landscape fabric—it can harm soil health by blocking water, air, and beneficial organisms [https://gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/weeds/disadvantages-of-landscape-fabric].
Over time, landscape fabric can become a barrier to nutrients as it compacts and clogs with soil. This can lead to less healthy plants and soil. Weeds can still grow on top of the fabric as organic matter accumulates. Removing these weeds can be difficult because their roots become entangled in the fabric. Consider alternatives like mulch, which enriches the soil as it decomposes. You can also try cover crops or just plain old-fashioned weeding.
