Initially I put rocks/lumps of wood or anything available to stop it blowing away. I then add organic matter in the form of home made compost, grass cuttings or even weeds as they become available and take the rocks off.

It goes through a stage of not being pretty but when its all covered and plants are growing through it it looks just fine. 

I have an aversion to black weed suppressant as it doesn't add anything to the soil apart from slugs.. Cardboard adds organic matter to soil and is a free weed suppressant. Whats not to like about it. Big Grin
