One Sheet of Cardboard Stops Weeds for Months — Why Don’t We All Do This?

Weeding is the garden chore that never ends. You pull one weed, ten more pop up. A week later it looks like you did nothing. In this video, I show an old, simple method that cuts weeding down for months in the worst problem spots, using something you already have: plain cardboard under mulch. This is the cardboard weed blanket method, also called sheet mulching. It works by blocking light, which is what most weeds need to keep growing. I walk you through the boring details that make it actually work, like overlapping the cardboard, soaking it so it stays flat, and using a thick enough mulch layer so weeds cannot sneak through seams. You will see where this works best, like garden paths, fence lines, and flower beds with shrubs and perennials, plus where you should not use it, like beds you are direct seeding with tiny seeds. I also cover the most common mistakes that make people think it failed, and how to fix weak spots without starting over. If you want a cleaner garden bed with less weekend labor, this is the easiest first step to try.
