I'm planning on trying it around the edge of my yard which is the only place I have grass. Everywhere else is little flowers and wild strawberry plants.
I use the newspapers on the bottom, since you are planning on 10-12 inches of soil on top of the weeds, if you put the newspaper down and put the soil on top they will die off and decay back into the ground giving your new plants food. I hope you take photos when you are done :)
