Cakes,

The big box stores sell 'U' shaped metal staples that hold landscape cloth in place - you can use them to hold down your weed block.

It is possible to make your own (less expensive) using wire that is about the thickness of a wire clothes hanger.

In a climate that is as cold as yours you really don't need mulch, the fabric keeps the soil moist (and warm if it is dark colored).
