'Allotment Gardening' says that you should cover bare earth with old carpet to prevent weeds from re-growing. Several of the other allotments holders have obviously read the same book as many of them have covered their bare parts with strips of old carpet. We had an old rug that the cats had thrown up on for years and and duly laid it over the soil, weighing it down with some bricks before starting on the second bed.
