Great video! Thanks for this info, especially for a fellow Canadian gardener (Steinbach, MB, Canada zone 3)! What type of landscape fabric are you using?🤔😁

My mulch ( pine bark) even over plastic seems to feed the weeds that land on it. This is outside the beds themselves, with no dirt under the mulch. The mulch does get wet, when it rains and creates a perfect feeding ground for weeds and cherry tomato plants that drop out of my beds.I am worried about using fabric over my raised bed soil, as I am worried about drainage. If the sun does not hit my soil the soil in the beds will remain wet, causing possible root rot. I would like to use this method if I could keep my soil from retaining too much water.
