Subject: Keeping grass down in flower beds?
Newsgroups: 24hoursupport.helpdesk

I've gotten free mulch - shredded trees - from the power company, but
it doesn't keep the grass supressed in the flower beds.

Would bark chips work better, because they're heavier and block out
grass and weed growth?

You need a border below ground to stop the grass roots.
