Weed Control Fabric advice

Hi guys has anyone used this Weed Control Fabric? I wanted to use it to cover the grass on a boarder as digging it up and lifting it can be hard for me being disabled, my worry is will it let enough water through to keep the plants happy, it does say in the add that it lets water through. any help would be good as this is my 1st year with a garden.

here what I bought

4m Wide 100gsm Yuzet Weed Control Fabric Ground Cover MembraneLandscape Mulch | eBay

 

I've used woven polypropylene fabric weed suppressant (Yuzet/Mypex/etc.) for many years and it does let water through, but only if laid correctly. Many a Spring I've lifted some gbst's been down overwinter and it's been too wet to cultivate underneath.

It needs to be laid on flat soil and pegged down in close contact with the surface. If laid over weeds and lumps rain can run off to low points before it has a chance to permeate through the membrane.

If left uncovered for some time, small amounts of can soil build up on the surface and weed seeds will germinate in it and their roots pass through the woven fabric.

 

Thanks Scrungee, My garden is on a slope so my thinking is to put some fresh compost where the new plants are going cut a circle out were the new plants go and then mabey poke the fabric with something small to make some larger holes I don't mind the off bit a weed/grass coming through as can deal with that my main worry is that the plant gets water
I do have the correct pegs for the fabric

 

I've used it in the past and just bought some 1m wide material for a specific job. Yes it should let the water through alright. I presume the idea is to cut slits in it and plant through in which case you will have to remove the grass from around the slit or it will grow through. As Scrungee said it needs pegging down properly. Also has a tendency to fray around edges, you can either heat seal these edges or turn them under before pegging down.

 

please read my above post as we posted at same time lol

 

here my garden just put my rose plants in but I have the grass to deal with but as you can see its on a slope

 

The gradient of the grassy slope either side of the steps might be unsuitable for planting through Yuzet/Mypex membrane. I've never covered a slope anywhere near as steep as that, but I suspect the membrane would shed the water down the slope before it got a chance to pass through it.

 

there would be holes where the plants are and I was going to put bark on top so was hoping it might slow the trickle down, was thinking as well I might put some nail holes in the membrane as well
what do you think?

 

My thoughts, for what they are worth is you need to kill the grass off first.
It looks too thick and lumpy to me to just put fabric on top.

Any bark laid on that slope is likely to end up at the bottom in a short time, I'm thinking.
