Hi all,
I’ve recently been lucky enough to acquire an allotment - but I’m already becoming a little disheartened! Unfortunately the plot was abandoned by the previous owner, and is overgrown with weeds. Thankfully no bindweed, but I’m nervous that there is some couch grass lurking
I went over the entire area with weed killer a few weeks ago, and then covered with a weed cover fabric. I was able to dig over a couple of plots and recover with fabric - but had to be away for the best part of a mo th for Work.
Unfortunately, the covers have not worked well and the weeds have just returned :( I don’t know what to do for the best really - should I respray with weed killer, try and remove the weeds manually (I’m scared of not getting the roots out fully)?
I would love to have a couple of good sections to keep weedfree over winter to grow things on for the Spring, so would welcome your advice!
