I don't know about you, but my household generates a lot of cardboard – from packaging, deliveries, and the general everyday rubbish we seem to accumulate. Rather than chucking it in the recycling bin, I always save it for my garden. Whenever I'm mulching, composting, or preparing a new raised bed, I head straight to my cardboard stash.
It's one of the easiest ways to have an eco-friendly garden because cardboard has so many helpful uses in the yard. It's great at suppressing weeds, you can use it as a 'brown' material in your compost bin (you can pick up plain cardboard from Walmart if your compost needs a top-up), and you can even make plant pots out of cardboard.
