Ah well, never mind!Trouble is, when the ground is wet it's so much harder to shake the soil off the weeds so it feels as if I'm taking the good stuff out with the bad!
What a waste, all material taken out of the soil in our garden goes on one heap or another, except for stuff with disease, bindweed, ground elder roots etc. The rest is composted one way or another. Really pernicious stuff goes on the non-compost heap, the rest on the compost heap. The non-compost heap? Well that is made up of all the things which are not supposed to go on the Compost heap. When there is no room for anything more, then it is covered with plastic and left. The last one was covered for 3 years before being used, lovely black crumbly root free stuff too!Sadly perennial weeds will just go dormant and continue to thrive so you really do have to get rid of them as and when you see themYou do realise of course that mulching and hoeing are mutually exclusive!!!!
our council was selling the green compost bins for 5.00 this year
I spread the compost, seeds and all, then cover it with grass cuttings. Anything that does germinate dies miserably.
