Does anyone have any preference over these two options or am I missing
something better on the market.


I try something new this year. Having assisted to a crash-course in
scything, and being in urgent need of 120m² of free space for a
green-house, I cover the future beds with a thick layer (20+cm) of
grass-cuttings. In a different spot this has held of most wild plants
from invading.

The first layer has already been compacted under the recent rain showers
and I added more grass.

Will report back (“You should never underestimate a good laugher” etc).

Couch grass is a big problem this year. See also in this newsgroup my
post u
and the pictures: http://www.uplawski.eu/div/pierced_potatos/
