Great plan! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome. Any knowledge I have or get I enjoy sharing it with others because I know that I just might help someone else and it just makes me feel happy. My stairstep metal garden bed has little slots on the outside so I had a bunch of decorative glass from the Dollar Store. I put it in the slots and that's the only bed that didn't show any signs of slugs or snails.

I would love to see how the decorative glass looks!

East Central IL, Was Zone 6, Now...maybe Zone 5
Buried cardboard takes about 6 weeks to decompose. On top of the surface it will sit for months. I KNOW this bc I staged a cardboard pizza box by my side door steps to make it into a burial. Never got there, still intact.
I left it there bc I like to throw out my kitchen garbage bags there, then take it to the can next trip outside. There are stones on the 4 ft bed--some previous owner put them there--and my garbage bag might split open on the stones.
Please remember that printed cardboard and the packaging tape tape on black printed cardboard (usable for gardening) won't break down and you will be cleaning them out of your beds later.f
I am using cardboard more to garden and less to burn.
