Before picture - cardboard sheet mulching

Here is a 'before' picture from January showing the paper, soil, cardboard layering we used to try to amend the soil and kill the weeds.  Over time, we added oat seeds in too as a green mulch.  They sprung up well, but died because they couldn't get through the cardboard and get water.  Note the T posts used to hold the cardboard down in fairly high winds.

There's also an in-between picture from February here:
