Best temporary covering/solution for future patio area

[drew17]

I have a large area in my backyard (20 x 8 feet) that was in bad shape and overgrown. We tilled this area. In the future (approx 1 year) we want to have a cement patio pored and a eventuly build a cabana on part of the slab. Currently it is a mixiture of soil and stone, I am looking for some cheap ideas to do with this area before we can have a cement patio poured.

Thanks!
