Beginner Gardening: Does anyone practice "no dig" gardening?, 1 by Badseed

I did it in the fall on a fairly large scale. We bought a new house and I had close to 500 daylilies to move plus other bulbs and perennials. I begged all the cardboard I could get and brought several Uhaul trailers of it to the new house. I laid down 2-100 foot trails about 5 feet wide. I also used it around my pond and around four big trees. I then had four dump trucks of dirt brought in and the driver was able to straddle the cardboard and dump and drive. LOL I rented a bobcat to move dirt to the other beds. I ran into one snafu that was not obvious until spring. The new dirt was FULL of weed seeds. I've been pulling since April. :( That kind of defeated the purpose but slowly and surely, I AM winning!

I just added 3 new beds. This time I killed the weeds on the ground with Roundup. Then I tilled the ground and mounded on good soil from a DIFFERENT dirt guy. I won't use the first guy again!

Here is a recent pic but it's still under reconstruction. :)
