something i have used in very weedy ground is a root barrier around the planting area. this can be anything such as tiles, sheets of plastic ( chopped up for sale signs work well) that is pushed in below soil level, which then provides a barrier to weeds coming in from the area around beds..
I am thoroughly convinced by the ideas behind a plant based diet, but am also passionate about eating locally. It seems at the moment many of the vegan staples such as beans, chick peas, lentils, soya and nuts can not be or are not produced locally, whereas meat and dairy products are. When i look through vegan cook books, I realise that if i were to go vegan my diet would be a lot less local than it is now.
Maybe a different approach to cooking and what we grow in this country is required? Is there a vegan cookbook that concentrates on uk grown food?
Currently I am just limiting the amount of dairy and meat I consume, which seems to be a good compromise for the moment. .caroline, Leeds
