Expert Response

Landscape cloth will work very well as a mulch in your garden. Lay the cloth down and then  cut holes for the plants. You will need to secure the cloth by putting dirt on it, using landscape staples, or spreading a wood mulch.

The cloth will keep weeds down, help preserve moisture, reduce the rain/water splash on the plants which lessens the spread of fungal spores.

Some people will form mound rows and then secure the cloth in the depressions beside the mound
