I don't know about the bark mulch part, but I can tell you that the newspapers will disintegrate in time with no harm, and you don't have to worry about punching holes in it. Just use a couple of layers of paper, not a ton. My wife has done this in several beds around our house using LEAF mulch and leaf compost. You have to pay attention to what you plant, as it must be something that "likes" that acid from the leaves.
I suspect that bark mulch alone will not support much of anything. You need some soil or compost. |
