I have been told two different things.

Some advise using old carpet to help keep weeds down while others advise the carpet is bad for the soil...any advise...I have a lot of weeds and grass from a neighbouring field smothering my newly planted hedge.

No money for expensive weed prevention methods and dont want to use weed killer chemicals.

THANKS
