Doesn't matter. Lack of light kills plants. Actually it's positive, because the trouble with closing off the soil altogether is that the lack of water (and associated oxygenation) causes it to become very heavy over time. I thought that the idea of covering the couch grass was to bring the runners to the surface so they can be gathered up without digging, not to kill them, but it's a slow job and I also would be using Round up even though I don't like it for many jobs. This is one place for it. David @ a damp side of Swansea Bay (I should say saturated) |
