During the spring and summer, I have a bad problem with wild and Bermuda grass both growing up in my shrub bed in front of the house. The past couple of years, I have been pulling it up, but it seems determined to return. I do have a continuous stone border around the bed. Someone suggested some weed fabric over the bed, which supposedly lets the water and nutrients in, but not let the weeds come up. I would like to lay down a layer of red mulch or lava rocks to match the house exterior. Does anyone have an opinion on the weed fabric? Does it help to put some shrub food underneath? In what order would I put the layers of food, fabric, and mulch/rock? If it makes any difference, I am in the North Texas area. Thanks!
