I’m sold on mulch after last year. Mulched the little front yard garden while my buddy went bare soil through that 2 month heat wave. He had to water ever other day while I watered once a week.

In addition to that, it cuts out 90% of the weeding I have to do.

I lay down either cardboard or landscape fabric between the rows and mulch on top of that. The mulch protects the landscape fabric so you get many more seasons out of it than if it were inn the sun full time.

The cardboard just rots and conditions the soil for the next year.

What about Mutual 901 MISE 901 Woven Polypropylene Fabric, 100' Length x 36" Width ?

A brother in Christ gave me a big roll of such. Water goes right thru. But do not use a propane torch to make the holes for plants, and end up with burned fingers. Flammable one it gets burning.
