Interesting! I use cardboard as a mulch for my tomatoes because I have a problem with fungus on the plants. Would it be a good mulch for tomatoes? The cardboard is so ugly.

The fungus on your plants is not the same animal as those in your compost.

Do you shred the cardboard? (Please excuse dumb question—I don’t have a good theoretical base.)
