We use Preen landscape fabric that we buy at Sam's Club. For vine crops, we roll out strips the width of the garden, leaving a narrow gap in the middle for the crops. Pumpkins, squash, cukes, melons, etc. spread over the top of the fabric, weeds are smothered. We just have to weed the row. We only use the fabric one year in the garden, but after that year, we use it for long- term mulch around trees, bushes, grapevines, etc. You can use it for individual plant crops, like peppers and tomatoes, just spread the fabric, punch holes, and put plants in the holes. We don't bother with the little staples to hold down the fabric, but lay old steel posts around the edges instead. It makes for a little extra work and cost up front, but pays off ( for us, anyway) by saving time and providing better crops through the year. My sister spreads newspaper around her plants and waters them down right away, which seems to keep them from blowing away. Hope it helps.
