it works really well. i did it several times. the cardboard will get soaked over time until it nearly decomposes by itself. you will need to be careful when lifting the pot to plant it into the garden, but the cardboard wont be a potent barrier by then anymore. the rest will be eaten by earthworms etc. who really love cardboard.
