I definitely like the idea of no tape.
I've been thinking of LARGE pieces (most of which do require me to remove tape), but perhaps, getting smaller boxes and putting them down first, I'd get one layer done with the larger sheets to cover them up.

...to prevent tree roots from growing into your flower bed?
I have this tree, which is the moisture/nutrient robbing Maple! Yes there are other trees very near by, White & red oak, dogwood, black gum, wild cherry, and cedar also......but the Maple feeder roots are by far the ones invading this space. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The question is...had I put down cardboard, would it have slowed down the invasive maple feeder roots? Literally nothing grew there this year, I put in about 7 elephant ears and lots of columbine seed...all for nothing. ww

Nope and I'm feeling pretty lucky that I've never had the need to try it.
