Fences: Do They Stop Weeds and Junk from Spawning?

[TwoTonTuna]

I completely enclosed my crop field with simple wooden fences, the brown ones you craft for 2 wood each. I left some 'green lawn' on the top and bottom edges of my 9x12 field of tilled land. This is where I start watering my crops with my iron watering can to take advantage of the 3x3 area it can reach.

The problem is that weeds sometimes grow on these 'green lawn' spots, meaning i have to take out my sword to clear them out. I've read in a couple guides that fences are supposed to disable the spawning of weeds, saplings, branches, and rocks within the enclosed area.

Is this untrue or am I doing something wrong?

Debris spawn at unoccupied spots on your farm. I use those steping stone paths between my field and the fence.

Same. Seems like quite a few guides talking about the anti-junk properties of fences are outdated

Yeah, I put a stone pathway from the house to the 2 map exists because of that reason.
