Matted down maple leaves have worked very well for my garden, one year ago
all of the beds were taken over with assorted weeds, now there's pretty
much nothing but bare black soil ready to be planted, maybe 4 dandelion
plants.. the key is to mulch heavily if there's a lot of weeds and make
sure they're matted down nicely.  Works just as good as a carpet and the
worms love it.
