I have used landscape fabric as polly has suggested and cover it with hardwood mulch to form walkways between the rows. Around the rhizomes I mulch with pine straw. The pine straw is kept off of the actual rhizome, and will last 2 seasons. I mix a handful of alfalfa meal into the soil before planting each rhizome and also use 6-24-24 fertilizer ~6 weeks before bloom and again in the fall.
Picture of one of my seedling beds prepared as described.
