I do the newspaper thing then put a layer of mulch over it, I have even watered
it to soften the paper and planted right through the paper... I do have pretty
good soil already so little to no amendments are needed.

Hi Colleen, and thanks for the response. I'll try the newspapers
soon. We have a nicely seasoned mulch pile (given us last year when
tree-trimmers were making the rounds) which should cover a good-sized
area. Our soil is rich but rocky.
