This yr. when I come down I thought I would pull back the pine needles, black fabric & put some PREEN down. THAN put the black fabric on top of the PREEN & ADD ANOTHER LAYER of black fabric (would have 2 layers) & than put pine needles on top.
Any BETTER IDEAS to solve or hinder my weed problem?

The fabric should only be used when you use stones in the flower bed. When you put fabric down and put mulch on top, you have created the best place for weeds to grow. When the mulch breaks down it stays on top of the fabric instead of going into the soil.
