Hello. I just flattened some cardboard boxes to lay under my beds. It has worked well for me. Good luck!

I also used cardboard, but I'm new to SFG and raised beds. I figured the grass would die, but the roots of the veggies would be able to penetrate the cardboard by the time they got that long. I have used cardboard as mulch in my vegetable garden with great success.

I have been getting the error message on a lot of my searches as well. I think there was some corruption on the hard drives of the server. I haven't found any official post but I haven't looked to hard either.

Back to weed barrier. I put it down under my beds and about 3 feet around the border. I will put a chicken wire fence around the edge of the barrier to help keep critter out. I did not have any card board but I have crab grass and had the barrier cloth so put it down. I think next spring I will cut down in to it to let the worms in.

There's a problem with GW this weekend. They have been putting tech updates in red lettering about the list of messages. Should be fixed Monday.
