I want to cover up an ugly part of my yard with bark mulch, do I have to lay down landscaping cloth?
I live in BC, so the Pacific North West gets a ton of rain, and weeds always grow thick and fast spring/early summer. I was wondering if the mulch alone will suffocate the weeds over time or do I really have to lay landscapers cloth? Also does anyone have a creative/inexpensive idea for boaders to seperate the mulch from the rest of my lawn. They have to great snap togethers at home depot but man they are a small fortune for the size I need! 
This is to go around and in between a large cluster group of huge evergreens. Thanks for any help, and as always any answers are greatly apprecaited. Have a great day everybody
Hey, I have great results with a nice layer of mulch alone and no landscape cloth. You really have to spray big perennial weeds first with Roundup or remove them before applying mulch or whatever. Stuff like chickweed that just seeds in can be smothered with the mulch. I would prefer to spend the money on deeper mulch and not landscape cloth because I think it is better for the soil in the long run and for the plants I want to grow in it. Mulch that is 2-3" deep does an excellent job here in Michigan to discourage weeds. Add a little more to the top every couple years if you need to. Be careful not to bury good plants up to the neck in mulch though to avoid crown damage. The weeds dont grow under the skirts of established plants much anyway due to the shade and competition. Really, the mulch only needs to be thick enough to prevent sunlight from hitting the soil to be effective. Then if I want to plant more plants in my garden I dont have to cut through some stuff to do it. And, nothing looks worse than mulch sliding off the landscape cloth on a slope! So it may have its place, but ....
On the edging the old fashioned way is to cut the border and leave the cut edge of the turf exposed to the air. Cut straight down thru the turf 4" and remove the sod along the edge. Then brush the dirt upward from the cut into the flower bed. Leaves a V-shaped edge. Lots of work but sure looks crisp. Not hard to maintain but you do have to re-do this from time to time as the grass grows. If you elect to install "bed edger" please please please PLEASE set it in deep enough. It is meant to stop grass roots from growing into the flower bed -- not to hold mulch in raised beds. You shouldn't be able to see the edge stuff from several feet away.
