Hot take: that $18 roll of landscape fabric from the hardware store actually held up for 3 seasons

I bought a cheap roll at the Ace in Boise back in spring of 2022 thinking it would shred by August, but here I am pulling it up from my raised beds and it's still in one piece under the gravel path. I ran it under about 4 inches of 3/4 crush and the only spots that failed were where I got lazy and didn't overlap the seams by 6 inches. The trick was double folding the edges where the wheelbarrow turns, because that's where my last batch always ripped. Anyone found a cheap way to pin down the corners that doesn't turn into a trip hazard when the kids are running through?
