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.

Two years isn’t the dataset you need to be so certain your landscape fabric is the reason you don’t have the weed level of your neighbours. The reason for the difference is because your bed is newer and I would be 100% certain you’ve been regularly tending to it now also.
Let’s revisit this in a few years after all properties other than yours have landscape fabric AND weeds.
