Hi Jen, it’s great that you’ve got an allotment, it will open up a whole new world to you.
I’ve found that the best and thickest cardboard for no dig is what bicycles are packed in. It doesn’t have a lot of printing ink on it, it’s really thick and when opened out, covers a large area.
It’s best to take the sealing tape off it, (worms can’t digest it), also remove the staples with strong, long nosed pliers.
No dig is the way to go – initially, it will take some effort, but in the end will save you time and effort – so start making your own compost, check out your nearest cycle shop and good luck with your plot 🙂
