Newspapers save money & will cut down on weeds!
Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants, overlapping as you go (just tear them into large pieces - do not shred them like the photo - I just liked it). Then cover with mulch and forget about weeds in your garden. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic, but they will not get through wet newspapers.

If you are lucky to be getting your multiple copies of the Review-Journal, now you have another idea of what to do with all that left over newspaper.
