I wanted to know if its worth getting landscaping fabric for my garden...?
Answers:
It depends what you're trying to accomplish. I find landscaping fabric is a problem in the wetter climates, (like me in Michigan). I use natural mulch like wood chips. Fabric is kind of a pain to deal with later on when you have to get back in the flower bed and fertilize and stuff. And if it's too wet, you'll get pill bugs and those other icky bugs whose name escapes me at the moment. Plus, to me it seems kinda "fake".
If you're a newbie, keep it simple, stick with hardy stuff like Hostas and a light cover of mulch. That's real easy to maintain. Also, buy perennials and plant them in their fav locations based on their sun needs. They come back each year so you don't have to go out and buy new stuff.

Landscaping fabric, in my hands, has been very disappointing...grass comes up through it, seems to be a waste of money. Mulch and weed when necessary. Good luck

I have to agree with the other responses. I have found landscaping fabric to be a pain in the b---. Weeds come up anyway. Newspaper works much better to keep weeds down and they break down and work to enrich the soil. So that you don't see it I put mulch on top of the paper.
Good Luck!
