Back in the day when I received a daily newspaper I used that as a layer under the mulch. The mulch held it in place, it prevented weeds from coming through, and by the next season it had decomposed.
My cucumbers are doing great in their pot and I have lots of small cukes and plenty of blossoms.
But the chipmunks keep destroying my zucchini. I just replanted for the 3rd time. I'm envious of yours!

I never heard about the newspaper. Good tip! My daughter has a newspaper route, so many newspapers here.
Luckily we don't have any chipmunks around here.
3 sheets or so seemed to last the whole growing season. Good luck!
