    Buy mulch! It helps with watering and when a weed sprouts, you can just pull them out, roots and all. It also helps the soil.

    mulch alone will not keep weeds out

    Use Preen, and then mulch. Do not use landscape fabrics in flower beds. Ants will get under the fabric, and the weeds will grow eventually in the decomposed mulch and be hard to get out of the fabric. The fabric is only good under gravel paths.

      Preen,and mulch will still not be enough to keep weeds out. As for the ants you will get them anyway regardless if there id fabric there or not.
