     avoid any of the colored and shiny cardboards as they may   
   have plastic coating on them.  just use the plainest cardboards   
   you can find with black ink.  remove any tape or labels that   
   might also be plastic coated.  otherwise worms love it and   
   chew it up eventually.  also it is easy to redo if the card-   
   board gets chewed up, just scrape the mulch back and put it   
   down and then move the mulch back on.  works great.  i've   
   done that for smothering some tough areas of weeds and   
   grasses.
