Stupid question - sorry

I suspect I'm about to win an award for most daft question of the week. But... how do you have 'dark soil'? My plants look great when I've just weeded, or topped up the soil with a little compost. The colour contrast is gorgeous. Is there a way to keep the soil looking dark without having to weed every other day.
