If the roots of the plants are growing under the cardboard, is it really necessary? Also, it seems like you must start with flat ground, and you don't make built-up rows or hills to put the plants in. I really don't know much about gardening, but everyone I know that has a garden makes rows or hills for the plants. Why do they?, and how can your garden do so well just flat? I've spent half the day for the past three days slaving away in our garden (moslty fighting weeds and grass), so I'm eager to learn your method! HELP!

I tried it last year and had great success. I only watered once to get my seeds started and I live in a drought sandy area. I didn't have a weed problem, but I did have a crabgrass problem. Crabgrass is tough stuff. This works great. I tried it last year and had great success. I only watered once to get my seeds started and I live in a drought sandy area.
