Anyone use landscape fabric?

Jolly’s right about the varying quality. One body I buried wrapped in the cheap stuff is already compost. The other is still pretty intact…

Never forget to shoot a large stray dog and bury it on top of the dismembered human body. And don't forget to bury the body at least 18" under the dog.
Of course, a horse is better...
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Just last night I watched the movie 1922 on Netflix. A Stephen King movie where the farmer buries a cow over his wife, great cover.

Shit’s gonna be buried in snow in three weeks anyway.

Landscape fabric doesn’t work. No matter what grade.
Use cardboard — all those Amazon boxes— and mulch over them. They’ll deteriorate over a year or two, but compost themselves until next year when you can do it again and mulch over again. Weed proof, and better for the soil.

Started the garden changes today… pulled up 4 spirea plants that were deeply rooted, plus some landscape fabric near them…what a PITA (well pain in the back, really). Replacing them with hostas. Anyway, with some good old fashioned digging with my gloves on, I was able to locate it and rip apart the landscape fabric relatively easily with a box cutter.
I’m definitely only addressing the landscape fabric wherever I have to, otherwise letting it remain as-is.

This.
The fabric won't stop the weeds after a few years, and you may be at that point sooner than you expect. Getting rid of it is a pain, but will be better in the long term. Trying to remove it after you've put money into new plants will frustrate you and your lovely bride. Get rid of it before you make other changes. You will be glad later, and I promise not to say 'I told you so.'
