Far better to lay a bunch of cardboard down, wet it and burry it with mulch. It'll be just as effective and not leave a bunch of trash around.

Haha this is so Canmore.
At my condo half the board had this same moronic stance that landscape fabric doesn't work. Meanwhile there are a bazillion weeds in every bed in my complex.
So two years ago I stripped out my bed in front of my unit, pulled all the weeds, laid down landscape fabric and then put all the rocks back.
Guest who is weed free and guess what every other bed looks like?
So now we are applying weed spray on all the beds to look somewhat less trashy, but my bed needs nothing. It looks perfect.
Complex is convinced from my experiment, though. We're going to fix all the beds, but it did take me doing this for free using my truck, labour and expertise to convince them. Truly mind boggling.
I've landscaped half the properties in Calgary between 1991 and 2001. You've rolled around in clay. Honestly, leave this one with me. You're super wrong.
