Vinny's Allotment Plot

If I understand this right, you've covered nearly all of your plot with cardboard and covered it with compost where you're going to grow veg and with wood chips for paths.
You must have had a truckload of cardboard.

It's surprising how much cardboard you need! It's all good organic matter though so you can't have too much methinks. I have stopped getting the cardboard from my Daughters Deli but I may ask her to start getting it for me again. I have even toyed with the idea of having cardboard then mulch then cardboard again before planting brassicas through it. You wouldn't need brassica collars then but could possibly encourage slugs under it? It isn't the prettiest of mulches either though, but maybe a few grass cuttings would disguise it a bit.
