Default Landscaping Cloth?

Should I lay what is called 'landscaping cloth' under my mulch
nuggets? I am tired of pulling weeds.

Thanks

YES!


Even though I have bushes and flowers? My Peonies and Hostas seem to
spread.

I think landscape fabric is fairly useless for what it's supposed
to do and it's a pain in the ass anytime you go to plant a new
bush. The mulch is there to keept weeds from growing. Even
if the fabric works initially, within a few years there will be
organic
material on top of it. Wind blows in dirt, dust, decaying bits of
leaves,
etc and it works it's way in, defeating the whole purpose.

I just use mulch and then hit the few weeds that make it through
with Roundup or equivalent.

move the nuggets aside, put down a few layers
of cardboard and put the nuggets back on top.
by the time the cardboard is eaten by the worms
it will smother most weeds.

I never thought of cardboard. Certainly cheaper. And should dissolve
over time.

The cardboard will also offer excellent nourishment and
environment for termites.
