Sheet Mulching with Newspaper: An Eco-Friendly Weed Barrier

Newspaper makes a better weed barrier than plastic. First, spray existing weeds with glyphosate and wait for them to die. Mow the area very low, then lay newspaper 10 sheets thick. Cover with mulch. Unlike plastic, newspaper allows soil to breathe and water to penetrate, and it eventually decomposes into organic matter.
