staple through the barrier into the ground.
Sometimes it helps to double the barrier over

through the staples. This helps keep the barrier in
place before the mulch or stone you put on top of
it keeps it in place.

While you can get by without staples, I've found
that they make the whole process much
smoother, as you don't have to worry about your
fabric blowing away.
