oh and i use the weed barrier fabric in most of my gardens except the flower garden.it really helps with the weeds,in my flower garden i am always pulling out clover and some rubber leaved thing.when i ripped out all that grass i actually piled it up and made a garden on this hill.i flipped all the grass down and covered it with a tarp and then in a month i planted on it.my problem was all the roots from the silver maples we cut down but i cut and dug most of them out.you could spray the area with round up to kill the grass.
