My experience using the weed block black plastic cover for under the mulch was very negative. It will successfully keep the weeds out for awhile (maybe a season) but soon enough weeds accumulate on top of the plastic and under the decaying mulch. The weeds actually grow on top of the weed block. So you're back to pullig weeds and now there is a layer of plastic that makes digging or other maintenance a pain.
