We inherited an allotment that was half laid to lawn because the previous lottie holder had a daughter and she used to come and play on that part. It has taken us nearly three years to get rid of it and we only have a little bit at the back of our patch now to deal with. Unfortunately it was couch grass so horrible to dig out, and that is why we have a small patio for our chairs made out of crazy paving slabs, so we don't have to mow any more grass. busy_lizzie
