In the timespan mentioned, the ground will soon be completely covered
in seeded weeds again. You would do better to cover the whole lot with
whatever you can cadge for free, to eliminate light. This will kill the
existing weeds, prevent any more germinating, and keep the ground clean
until next season..so you shouldn't need to rotovate.

Try, old tarpaulins, old carpets, flattened cartons,or as a last
resort, bought black plastic sheeting. Put some old planks or bricks
round the edges to stop it blowing loose.

Janet.

To get black plastic sheets for free give your local trussed rafter
manufacturer a call. We cant get of em. Check out www.tra.co.uk for
your local one.

Failing that your local timber merchant. They usually come in nice and
pretty one side then black as the hat the other. Maybe some holes in
but in the main they will do the job.
