Please help me with my flower beds?!?

If I'm redo-ing my flower bed and I need to put down a new weed barrier, could I just go to the fabric store and buy some black polyester fabric instead of paying $30-$40 at a home improvement store?

You can but it won't work as well. It will degrade faster than the fabric made for this use. My mother in law swears by this method. First she uses lots of newspaper, then over the top she puts black garbage bags the contractor kind (cut and spread flat) which she follows with another layer of newspaper and then mulch or landscape rock. I haven't tried it yet, but was thinking about trying it this spring.
