Landscaping fabric or not?

Judy
by Judy
I'm building a raised garden, 2' (w) x 16" (h) x 16' (l). I removed the grass and tilled up the soil, built the frame and filled it with compost, manure, garden soil and top soil - mixed. Should I put landscaping fabric over the soil before I plant, then add drip irrigation, then mulch?
Thanks.
