The Cardboard Cure All for Garden Weeds A recent experiment using the "cardboard method" to suppress weed growth in garden beds has garnered widespread interest and acclaim.
This simple, low tech approach involves laying down sheets of cardboard over planting areas and covering them with soil.
A gardener who tried this method reported impressive results: after a month, they were able to plant tomatoes, green beans, carrots, basil, and pepper plants without encountering any weeds.
