Question by irvingfan: Do you need to put down landscaping fabric under mulch?
I want to landscape near my fence. I have hoed out the grass that was growing there. Do I need to put down that landscaping fabric or can I just put down the mulch? Will the mulch alone keep the grass from growing back?

you should but you don't have....but some of your hardier weeds and grass will eventually grow through the mulch....by putting it down (or black pastic) it will save you time in the long run....

Question by fly_kimmie: Can I use landscaping fabric that is black for watermelons instead of black plastic mulch?
the landscaping keeps weeds to a minimum and i would think that the black fabric would draw heat... yes?
Oh...and we got a new puppy so the less he has to spread all over the yard, the better! plus i was told by a nursery to get the fabric...

Question by Dinosaur: How many bags of rubber mulch do I need for my landscaping project?
ok for example......Originally I calculated square feet.

when i put down wood mulch at 3 cu ft per bag i used 30 bags to do the job around my house to cover 5 yards. so with that said, how many bags of this rubber mulch will i need?

here's what what the manufacturers website says...
For landscaping - 1 bag of landscape mulch is recommended at 2" depth to cover 7 square feet.
For example in my front yard I have a section that is 8 feet wide by 25 feet long.So if I divide this by 324 I get about 1 yard. If i can figure this part out it would make it easy for me to figure the rest out.

I want to make 1 inch of rubber mulch instead of 2 inch since I have wood mulch now that I will keep underneath.
area 1: 7 ft wide x 24 long - front of home
area 2, 3 and 4: 4 ft wide x 50 ft long - sides of home
area 5: 10 ft wide x 60 ft long - back of home by pine trees

so i need to know how many bags of rubber mulch would i need at 1 inch thickness if 1 bag covers 7 square ft at 2 inch thickness. each bag is about 26 lbs also.
