Hi. Has anyone got any suggestions. I bought an apple tree this spring
and planted it. Unfortunately, there is a large amount of dock leave
weeds around the base. I would like to get rid of them without
posoining my tree. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreceiated

No-one's yet mentioned a layer of heavy-duty black polythene or that
black horticultural fabric (Terram or similar) that lets water
through. Cut out the light and everything dies, eventually.
