We get so much wind at my place, I can’t do this. I tried even staking the cardboard down and it required a ton of stakes and still failed as soon as the cardboard got wet, littering the neighbors’ places with soggy cardboard. I did have success using it as a weed barrier just around the base of my tomatoes, but this also required several stakes just to keep the two boxes in place. My stakes here are a U of metal with a ~5cm plastic ring at the top to give it surface area to push on whatever I’m staking.
