Cardboard to Control Weeds and Promote Earthworms
Q: My wife says that laying down cardboard in a garden will control weeds and promote earthworms. Have you heard of this?
A: Cardboard works very well to control weeds and worms love living underneath it. Just cut the cardboard to size, poke a few holes for water to pass through and cover with chips, leaves or straw.
