Better late than never. Finally got all the ground cover in place. The two rows to the right are covered with the row covers then sand. The next row has a commercial grade landscape fabric with sand and the last row is typical black landscape fabric with sand. The row covers work well for broadleaf weeds, est. 99.9% effective, crabgrass est. 95-99% effective, nutsedge 0% effective. I've been using paraquat to eliminate escapees. Grass & broadleaf weeds brown & crispy in 24 hrs or still green if I missed them. Nutsedge requires round-up. Been using a politician's sign for a shield while spraying, just have to make sure I don't spin it like they would.
