I have a area with about 6"to 8" of mulch and I am wondering if 4-6" of cinder would help keep down the weeds? What has been your experience? Any Help? I plan to use soil or soil cinder where I plant. If it will not help I may just soil/cinder it all.
Thanks Bill

In response to your post, after preparing the tamed part of our manicured areas, just as you have noted, we plan to plant seashore paspalum.

Here is an older post I received about this fine cut and low growing grass mat 9-06;

SEASHORE PASPALUM

Mella L - We got stolons from Dean. He often has an ad in the paper and does deliver to Hilo (he grows the grass in Waikoloa). He sells sod as well as stolons. We planted some at our vacation rental and are happy with it.

You can also purchase flats at Home Depot. Cut the flat into small pieces and you have plugs that you can easily plant.

Once the plant is established, it takes off quite nicely.

LUM Sod & Stolons. Delivery available. Call Dean at Turf Hawaii
896-5645.

Perhaps someone else has experience with this grass also. Doesn't need much mowing!
