The professional woven nursery fabric we use: https://amzn.to/4210wCr

This week we uncover the area we covered with weed block. Sometimes called occultation, or "tarping," covering an area of grass or weeds or a cover crop with some sort of light-excluding barrier can kill everything off beneath and leave a nice seedbed without tilling. This is a no-till gardening method of weed control which is very simple and easy to use. We have used cardboard to sheet mulch, and often still do, yet this woven nursery fabric / weed barrier is very simple and easy to use, especially when you need to kill weeds in a larger space and don't want to deal with piles of cardboard. This is a simple way to start a new garden. Through down a tarp or nursery fabric, tack it to the ground somehow, then wait and let the sun (and lack thereof) clear the ground beneath.
