Have been experimenting with cardboard as (free) mulch to suppress weeds and 10/10 would recommend. It just has to be wedged or weighed down to avoid blowing away.

I’ve always wanted one of those living willow houses. I finally realized it was beyond me and ordered this gazebo greenhouse kit – assembled it without the plastic exterior and grow vines on it.
Last year I didn’t put down enough seeds, but this year we planted many more and I bought a clematis (the green vine you see here.)
It may take some trial and error to get the right effect.
