Make sure you don't use cardboard with labels.. I just did my landscaping with cardboard. It looks amazing.. I did it a little different, but the cardboard works
Really neat idea! My only suggestion is that you might want to poke holes through the cardboard where you plant, this way the roots won't have to fight through the cardboard and they have access to the mycelium. The mycelium will eventually grow onto the cardboard but poking those holes is like a shortcut
i agree with this!! i usually kind of punch tiny holes all over with a pick or screwdriver or smthn similar to allow life to pass thru easily :^) good luck
@@gregcampvideos absolutely you should, because you don't want those in your soil. I don't know if they'd do anything bad, but they also won't break down.
Hey with love you're wasting money! Instead of buying by the bag for a project like that find your local landscape supplier (mine is a rock quarry) and buy soil by the cubic yard. Looks like you'd need a half yard. I'd be spending several thousands on bags for my own project and buying by the yard is only coming up to less than $300 for 4 cubic yards. I'm sheet mulching my whole front yard.
Potting soil is more porous than garden soil because it uses amendments such as perlite. That way, water drains better and the soil is less compacted in the pot. Potting soil is also meant to be used by itself while garden soil is usually mixed with your native soil.

Are you suppose to remove tape and stickers off the cardboard?

how many inches of soil after cardboard
The more the better but at least 2
What is garden soil vs potting mix? I'd assume one goes in ground but not sure on that one.
I'm honestly not sure
