Nursery cloth question
Several months ago, we purchased some nursery cloth from Home Depot, and placed a four foot wide strip of it over the new pathway to our front door. After which, I placed several layers of pine straw on top of it.
That section of the yard happens to have an infestation of nutgrass, so I was curious to see what would happen. Sure enough, a few (very few, in fact) bits of nutgrass began to make their way through it.
I learned that if you pull them up quickly, they come up easily, but if you wait too long, they try to pull the nursery cloth with them.
I looked up nursery cloth and found a site that sells four ft wide strips a hundred feet long, complete with markings every foot - just like some of the hybridizers us.
Question: does this cloth come in different grades, in terms of weed control, and if so, how does that work?
A sincere thank you to any expert help I can get. We’re going to completely re-do about three hundred feet of beds this fall, and the first thing to go down will be nursery cloth, so I want to get the best I can afford.

PS I started to enter this rather long post live on the board, but just when the time came to hit the ‘preview’ button, I lost every thing. Bill Gates has a LOT to answer for, in my not so humble opinion.
