ellenr22 said:when you say "weed block" not sure if you are referring to a chemical weed block? When I do a raised bed, I put down cardboard, and then soil. Cardboard keeps most of the weeds down, and as it decomposes, the roots will find their way through. If you do this, tho, be aware of the celophane tape that is used in many cardboard boxes, and get rid of that before you put it down.

Sorry should have been a little more specific... not a chemical but something like cardboard or I was thinking of putting a landscaping weed barrier fabric down first.

And, especially important ! What type of evasive grasses or weeds you have, do you have anything like Bermuda grass, that grows by stolens under the soil,or anything of the like ???
I'm not sure vege roots could grow through fabric weed barrier. So I'd say no to it.
I don't trust cardboard.
A good amount of newspaper, check with newspaper, if they use organic based ink. Plus, use no shiny ads.
On my questions. Get back with us, please. 😀

Philipwonel said:You also could consider elevated raised beds. With beds off ground, no worry about any evasive weeds, plus, you'll have less weeds altogether, and build them tall enough so you don't have to bend over to garden. That's a BIG PLUS to me !👍😀!![]()
