morning glory -- mulch sufficient?

| I have morning glory just starting to peek through some soil I just laid down around a new swing set in our yard. Will a few inches of mulch on top of the soil be sufficient to smother them and keep them at bay? Or will I need to put some landscaping cloth or something else down under the mulch? Thanks. |

| If what you have is true Morning Glory and not its more invasive cousin Field Bindweed, "Convolvulus arvensis" tht mulch material will smother it. Morning Glory is just a wimpier plant then the Bindweed. |

| Pretty sure it's morning glory but in case it turns out to be Convolvulus arvensis, what should I do? |

| If it is Bindweed, "Convolvulus arvensis", you will need to dig the roots out. I have heard from many people that have spent a lot of money on chemicals to eradicate this adn then they found that digging the roots out was the only, sure, solution. |
