Started my first lasagna gardening project and ran out of newspaper very quickly. This is a long row of existing wax myrtle shrubs that I want to layer up with newspaper, compost, leaves, etc., and plant flowers next spring. A local air conditioning contractor is very happy to bring me his huge cardboard cartons that the AC units come in. (A real pain for them to cut up to fit in dumpster.) Of course, it is somewhat thicker than the newspaper I was putting down. Is there any reason not to use cardboard?
Also I have a supply of blueprints I could use. They are no longer printed in the old blueprint method, which I would think would not be a good thing to use. Nowdays it is just huge sheets of photocopy paper, no different than office copy paper. Any reason not to use those?
Thanks.
