Fantastic! That’s great, thanks so much charles.
Hi Charles, should have done that first sorry! Pulled back the carpet and there are some roots near the edges-odd bit of bindweed, possible bramble, bracken, but don’t think there is any ground elder. More towards the middle the only things still growing are some very yellow bluebells (some have managed to break through the carpet!) and quite a bit of cuckoo pint. Can’t see any obvious roots at the surface. What’s the verdict?! I’m hoping not to have to dig as its quite a big area, although I will dig up the Bluebells and move them. Many thanks Tess
Hi all, I’m in the process of setting a new veg bed up. When we moved here about a year ago I spread old carpet over the veg bed area which was mainly Bramble and ground elder. I’ve sourced some local compost&manure now so was aiming to create raised beds with 15cm of the lovely stuff. Do I need to dig over the ground first once I’ve removed the carpet and remove any roots of ground elder or would the compost suppress it enough? Many thanks for any advise. Kind regards Tess
Just to add I found fleece really good too. My cabbages are virtually hole free, and look amazing, especially when compared to the skeletal remains of the sprouts in the next row that I didn’t cover!
Hi Charles, I notice you advise against growing japanese onions overwinter due to mildew. Is this the same for Radar as well? Thanks in advance, Tess
