This is very similar to how I do no-till, and recently, when someone asked me how to start a bed, I suggested to them they omit the cardboard where they will be doing root crops. Carrots, for example, I plant by scattering seeds, fairly thick, and covering the bed with cardboard until just before the date of their germination. I thin as they grow (often eating the thinnings), and having planted so densely, this helps prevent the weeds because the carrots have a good start on them.
