John, is your only reason for landscape fabric the weed prevention aspect of it? Try corrugated cardboard/newspapers instead. In 2008 I built an 8x16 raised bed and laid down several layers of corrugated cardboard/newspapers on top of the ground before filling the bed. It's been 6 years, and I still barely have any weeds in that bed. It was 3 years before I saw any weeds at all in it.
I had lots of cardboard available, since I had just moved into my house. But you can hit local stores and get their boxes - they just toss/recycle them. Earthworms LOVE corrugated cardboard.
