Newspaper is ok but it's a pain in the ass to place if there's the slightest bit of wind. I prefer cardboard.

Soak it as you put it down, works for cardboard and newspaper. Throw some mulch on top after and you've really got a stew going.

I hit that paper with some hose mist and that kept it down well enough. I was using the paper in places with angles cardboard wasn't gonna handle gracefully.

idk if the ink they use is good for you if it leeches into the soil.
