Built some garden beds over the weekend at 0 cost by reusing old wood I had laying around using nothing but an electric chainsaw and an impact driver.
2 beds are something like 6’ x 2’ and the third is something like 10’ long. I have no clue what the exact dimensions are since I just eyeballed everything.
Kinda debating whether to cut up some old cat litter bags we have to make a liner just to keep dirt from slipping out through gaps.
Also managed to go on the first good bike ride of the season over the weekend. Just under 30 miles.
If you mean agricultural felt, carry on. Other than that, most woven landscape fabrics are plastics and will not only break down and get into the soil but also make removing plants which grow through it harder to manage or remove
It’s not so much the crop you’re growing, but the weedy species around the growing space which will try to get to that space and will entangle themselves in the plastic interweave. Trying to remove them by pulling will just rip some of the material apart, which means bits of plastic left behind and greater opportunities for even more weeds to make it through.

Not sure if you have the budget, but landscape fabric is wonderful for separating raised beds from the surrounding environment.

I was just trying to grow chile.
