one could use "soilleafmouldcus improvicus"

Leafmould sounds like a good idea. It sounds preferable to soil, as weeds
(even little ones) are not going to take root in it so easily.

One thing concernd me about this whole cardboard idea: Doesn't it prevent
rainwater (or hose-water) getting through to the soil?
