Prairie planting - weed membrane or not?

Due to a weird quirk of town planning I own a flower bed that's actually in front of my neighbour's house. I can barely see it from my house, so don't want to spend too much time on it.

I like prairie planting very much, I have a couple of grasses there already which look great so I'm going to go the whole hog.

Should I do weed membrane and gravel/bark to keep the weeding down? Or is that a Big No?

Sounds lovely ! I'd say definitely yes to a weed membrane but go with gravel rather than bark, which in my experience just turns into a cat lol 🤢

Oh no, I've just slathered my back garden in bark chips! Shock
