Has family around so have lots of large pizza boxes. I'm wondering if I can use them to prevent weeds growing around my gooseberry bushes? At moment I have speedwell and goosegrass keep growing back around them. Is this a good idea or should I just shred the boxes and add to compost?

Hi Ice
Yes you can you them to prevent the weeds, I use cardboard around my strawberry plants to stop weeds and to keep the fruit clean
Happy gardening
ps when the cardboard is rotting replace with new and then discard old into your compost bin
