Well done - really making your mark already. Hope it feels like real progress because it certainly looks like it!

I never discouraged fly tipping on my plot when I was clearing it, as long as it was plotholders, and they put their rubbish on the pile. I knew I'd get the Council out to clear it eventually, and meanwhile there were people stuck with all sorts of rubbish. Not much got dumped, it infuriated certain committee members, but it did the people involved a favour.

If it's all couch, black plastic what you're not digging. It'll grow back in no time if you don't.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
