Tackling an overgrown allotment with a bad back

So the cardboard helps the Glyphosate?
No, the cardboard smothers whatever the glyphosphate didn't kill. If you
don't want the agent orange approach, run over the whole thing with a good
strong mower, then mulch heavily with cardboard, dead leaves, anything that
makes a barrier and will rot. If you do this in the fall, a rotovator will
finish the job in the spring. Also a good way to convert useless sod into
useful veg garden! (Am I the only one who finds the garden space creeps
into the lawn?)
