Hi I've been using redwood bark as a weed barrier for years, but I dont like the way it decays and builds up the level of the soil. Is there anything else I can use for a weed barrier short of that fabric stuff that wont decay? regards John

Roundup.
The decay is adding organic matter to the soil. How do the plants look? Nice & healthy for the most part?
Try shredded hardwood mulch. There is some new stuff that is double shredded that can be obtained at a garden supply in bulk.

Shredded wood will steal the nitrogen from your soil.
Call the timber police.
