I've done searches under newspaper, weed control & lasagna and believe what I intend to do doesn't pose any risk to my existing plants, but can't take any chances. I've tried white vinegar and Burnout with some limited success to kill weeds and grass in my existing landscaped beds. However, since I have to put down mulch anyway I plan to just cover the entire bed with the recommended 8 to 10 layers of non-glossy newspaper, wet down the paper and cover with 2" of mulch. My question is how close to existing, trunks(e.g. Japanese Maple), shrubs, stems(e.g. hostas) can I go with the newspaper without there being a negative effect on the plants?
Thank you,
Neal
