I have heard you can use wet newspaper to prevent weeds in the garden. Has anyone had success with this method?

I have tried newspaper often in Central Florida and it has never worked for me.
You need to over flap them......and then I put grass clipping & leaves down on top of that.............it keeps the ground damp and you use less water and it keeps the weeds down..............and the next year..............it is falling apart..........and I just tilled it under and raked it and started over................
