Wendy,
Definately an excellent practice.
Mulching with anything from news(read "bad" news) paper to cardboard to
sheet mulching with leaves, grass, or any other organic(that's carbon
based organic not the certified type) material will add carbon and thus
humus to soils.

News print, even colored, and cardboard etc. are great for smothering
weeds and unwanted plants in the process. Have fun.
PS you might use a decorative mulch over the top.
