     a few layers of craft paper or plain cardboard   
   and mulch on top.  if needed it can be redone   
   after a season by scraping back the mulch and   
   then reapplying the cardboard or paper and then   
   moving the mulch back.   
      
     the nice thing about using organic mulch and   
   smothering layers when it breaks down it creates   
   humus that can also be used on a garden.   
      
     the downsides are that sometimes mice or voles   
   may like to nest under the paper or cardboard but   
   if you make the ground flat and make sure the   
   edges are not open to easy access then the critters   
   won't likely use it.
