 Which mulch best inhibits lawn grass?

Concrete?

Is your lawn seeding itself into your mulch
or are you trying to kill the lawn by covering it with mulch.

If the latter, use landscape cloth, then put mulch on top.

The answer may be in choosing the best mulch or there could be another
way of doing what you want.  If you told us the situation it would be
easier to say.  In general the best mulch is the one you can source
locally and cheaply.

 Okay, here's the longer story.

I want to plant some mixed wildflowers.  There used to be lawn grass
in that location.  I poisoned the grass, much to the outrage of some
people on this group.  The poison couldn't have been all that bad --
the grass was green until I roto-tilled it today.  It's been 30 days
since I poisoned the grass, and the bottle says to wait 7 days.

I live in zone 6B; the soil has lots of clay.

If you want more details, please ask.

Thank you for all advice.
