Hi Katinkka,I watched 'It's not easy being green' on BBC recently and they moved on to their new land in June which meant some fast work was needed.They laid cardboard straight on top of the weeds, edged with rocks/bricks, put a layer of soil/compost on top (I think about 4 inches) and then they planted their stuff into this - on top of the cardboard!I think the way it works is that the card will rot and your roots can get through to the soil underneath but the weeds are suppressed because of the cardboard. This is enough apparently for the first year and then you dig out the old weed roots at the end of the season when you have a bit more time.Don't know if it will work but would be interesting to hear what others think :-\I think you can check them out on the bbc website.Anyway good luck to you and welcome to allotmenting!Donna.
