A good cover crop that smothers weeds is Subterranean clover.  Either plant
it around trees or as a cover in a garden bed in the fall.  In the spring
about the time it flowers, cut the clover with an electric or gas weed
trimmer or a scythe--as close to the ground as you can.  The cut duff
suppresses weeds nearly 100 percent.  Peaceful Valley and Adams-Briscoe
www.abseed.com  carry the seeds.
