Default Garden with bamboo and minimum maintenance

A pretty effective way to eridicate well rooted weeds is to put down
cardboard, and leave it there. In a garden it can be covered with
something to make it look ok. It lasts a good year or so, and by then
virtually everything has given up. I'm not sure it would stop bamboo
growing though.


I've used thick layers of newspaper, covered with shredded wood mulch.
