Cardboard
- You can use cardboard in your garden as mulch or to create walkways where you don't want anything to grow.
- Carefully cut open cardboard boxes and cut them to the width you want.
- Place them on the soil where you want to mulch. Overlap the edges so weeds can't sprout up in between.
- Hold the cardboard down with a second layer of mulch like hay or bark.
- It will slowly get soggy and decompose, so don't use it where you know the ground will stay wet.
- If you have a problem with earwigs in your garden, this is not the best solution for your garden.
