can I use newspaper?


I've dug my pit, filled it with compost and covered it up with dirt. And planted my pumpkin on a hill of compost and dirt.

My question is...
Can I cover the hill and surrounding area with newspaper before I cover the whole area with straw? I have always had a chickweed problem in my patch and I am determined to have my patch as weed free as I can get it. Straw has never been enough.
