Hello all,
my name's Roger I have an allotment i know very little about
gardening but was hopin to pick up a few tips on growing veggies on my
plot.
The plot was absolutely covered with weeds and i covered what area i
could with carpet and a piece of black plastic i believe some of the
weeds were called mares tail there was grass of all varieties. I was
just wondering how long i had to wait before this killed off the
little blighters and i could start digging the ground through with a
few to gettin some potatoes in. cheers to any one that responds.
