clearing waste land to plant new veg garden
SNIPmeister strikes again.
You know the old saying about There being only two things certain in life, ie death and taxes? Well for gardeners these are immediately followed by three others. Weeds, catcrap, and slugs/snails. The weeds will come back as the perennial ones will root from the tiny bits you've left in the ground as you've already discovered. Also the seeds that you've turned over with the soil will germinate, providing you with a new batch of annual weeds. And don't forget that whilst the weather may be too hot too cold too windy or too wet or too dry for whatever you're trying to grow, there is no weather that is unsuitable for weeds. When you do clear the ground and it's nice and friable, here come the cats. they love it when you dig. And finally, when whatever you plant/sow does come up, here come the s&s. We must be gluttons for punishment. :-(( Keep at it, the end results are worth it. :-)) Steve |
