Allotments 4 All

---

I seem to have grown a LOT of garlic. What on earth am I going to do with it all?

I am thinking of moving over to a raised bed system on my allotment next year. We have had some of our lawn taken up to build a gazebo and the builder has suggested using the turf to layer a raised bed(grass side down) which then is filled with soil.
Has anyone done this and know if it works?

At the bottom of our garden we have a gazebo, it has a nest box attached to it, where we like to have a glass of wine in this nice weather. But alas, no more as the bird box has been taken over by Bees, lots of them   
These bees are quite small, about 6 mm with odd ones been a bit bigger. So my questions are, do all bees sting or the bigger question is, is this a permanent residence or will they eventually go. I don't want to do them any harm if they are going to go somewhere else soon.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated as I know nothing about bees.

I have just taken on a new plot and have never seen so much mares tail in my life. Someone posted that ammonium sulphamate (purchased as compost accelerator) would help. However the main supply source Misral Indusrial Chemicals only sell to bonafide businesses or terrorist bomb makers. Tried Amazon but the supplier is Mistral. Any ideas where I can obtain said chemical for garden use only please.
