removing grass from veg patch
If keeping your plot covered with plastic or carpet for long periods,
make sure it's not being used as a shelter by slugs. Alan Gould wrote in message ... In article , Janet Baraclough. . writes Lack of light will kill all growth within a couple of months.. We use the method of light elimination on occasions. It works to a limited degree in the sense that it inhibits growth, but we have not found that it will eliminate grass in a couple of months. As a very rough guide, the time that covers are left in place is the amount of time which the ground will be weed free after they are removed. I use black plastic sheet for that job. I put it in place on the area to be cleared in autumn of one year, leave it there until spring of the year after the next - around 18 months. That gives a year or so of relative weed freedom, but sooner or later the ground will become inhabited by unwanted growth unless good husbandry is practised. |
