FROM creeping through cracks in the driveway to sprouting through\u00a0flowerbeds<\/strong>, pesky weeds will always find a way to appear.<\/p>\n

But that could soon be a problem of the past as a gardening whizz has revealed the clever way she keeps her weeds at bay – using cardboard boxes. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Emma, who regularly shares gardening tips and tricks online, answered a question she's often asked by social media users: "Why do I use cardboard as a mulch in my allotment plot?"<\/p>\n

In a clip shared to TikTok (@emmasallotmentdiaries), the gardening guru reveals the answer, explaining: "Well, not only is it easy to get my hands on, but it's great at suppressing weeds and attracting those lovely worms."<\/p>\n

However, she goes on to warn that you must remember to remove all sticky labels and sticky tape, before placing it on your soil.<\/p>\n

"I always make sure I don't leave any gaps because weeds can grow through those," she adds.<\/p>\n

"I'm not going to plant into this until next spring but if you want to plant on it sooner you can because roots can go through cardboard," she adds. <\/p>\n

The cardboard trick is ideal for anyone looking for a non-chemical, more "organic" approach to killing weeds.<\/p>\n
