Newspaper under woodchips as mulch?
as it helps to retain water as well as stopping weeds. I used it there in a friend's garden putting down a thick layer under her poor soil. It worked very well as a soil improver as well as water retainer and weed preventer Thanks Oak, I'll do that if it ever by Laura Corin
