Couch Grass what should I cover it with?

Hi, I have recently taken on a large allotment which has a severe case of couch grass invasion. Could someone please tell me the best thing to cover the area with whilst I am working on other parts of the allotment. If I can help it I do not want to use any weed killers. I have read covering over is one of the better solutions. My two thoughts of covers are a think black plastic polythene sheet Something like : ('HEAVY DUTY BLACK POLYTHENE PLASTIC SHEETING 4M WIDE DPM ROLLS 300MU 1200 GAUGE | eBay' (http://tinyurl.com/nr4csbh)) With option two being heavy duty garden control fabric. Something like : ('Kenley Garden Landscape Weed Control Fabric Ground Cover - Heavy Duty 100GSM | eBay' (http://tinyurl.com/lewfp78)) Does anyone have any preference over these two options or am I missing something better on the market. Depends on you budget. The cheapest option is to go to a carpet retailer and ask them for a bit of rubbish carpet, then place that over. The trouble with the black polythene, especially the thin variety is that winds will soon wreck it. |
