I'm making a raised garden with a cinder block perimeter 1 block high. After removing the existing grass should I put a landscape fabric barrier before my Black Kow manure and compost or will it hinder root growth? I will plant tomato, cucumber, jalapeno peppers etc.

Ended up reading about this and went that route. I have a big trash can that I've been piling in pine clippings and straw from my chicken run and coop. It was full of chicken shite obviously so i piled about 8 inches of that and I will pile cheap soil mix then my good Black Kow on top of that. Should work pretty well.
