Stop pulling those weeds or buying expensive weed barrier fabric. Just add a layer of newspaper (many sheets thick) and cover wit hmulch. The newspaper will last for at least a year, and then you can just add more. The best part is the newpaper slowly biodegrades and helps improve the soil. It also keeps in moisture so you water less often.

This is a great way to recycle your newspaper and help/improve your garden at the same time!
