I actually don’t recommend landscape fabric even for the paths. Weeds end up growing though it over time and it breaks down into pieces that are difficult to remove. Instead, I suggest using broken down cardboard boxes covered by wood chips or sawdust. When cardboard breaks down, it ends up becoming a food source for worms and other organisms.

If you run out of the bedding material you can use LANDSCAPE MATERIAL . I use it in all my raised gardens . and cheeper saw dust for in-between rows.

Jane, Yes, wood sorrel is a very common weed in my garden and it IS edible.

Carolyn, It may seem I have the perfect gardening world, but we all have our challenges. Over the years, my garden has become more shaded from trees around out property. Combine that with a short growing season and I have to really plan well to grow enough in a very short period of time. Have you tried using hardwood mulch made from tree trimmings? It is a little heavier and may stay in place better than straw. Unfortunately, constant wind is going to be a continuous challenge.
