So... how do I best get the ground ready to accept the mulch (I don't
want to be pulling weed out of the mulch for the rest of my natural
life, so I assume I need to rid myself of them in some permanent way)?



Permanent weed preventative?
You're dreaming. They always come back.
Gardening is a process, not a one time chore.
