Thanks for reply Charles, ive dug out brambles not as hard as I thought as you say ground underneath fairly clear of weeds, we live in old Victorian stable block on a country estate, I have about 86 sq meters in patches which will be divided into 8 beds, we hope to get the old walled garden which is full of Christmas trees in a few years, a bit of a project (Victorian Kitchen Garden) will keep me busy, planted 18 fruit trees around us, a few chickens as well, couple of questions, one area I have for 3 of my beds is covered in Ivy, do I need to dig this out like brambles, hardly any weeds in it, the area only gets morning sun maybe 5hrs as one side has 150ft sequoia trees Its a large area so I need to be growing in it, salad crops will do ok, are there veg that wont do well in shade, we are surrounded in masses of bracken, would this be good for mulching new beds or would it make better use composting it, seems to good a resource not to use it, reason for tunnels we are in a frost pocket and can get regularly frosts in June, only just over 4 months good growing outdoors, keep up good work,
Regards
Colin
