Could someone please tell me where i can get some heavy duty black pvc from as  i would like to cover half of my patch to work on at a later date.
also the allotment i have  has been manured for the past two years and the chap who had it before hasnt had time to grow anything on it, will i need to do this again or can i get straight on with planting, when i finally get rid of the weeds

Any builder’s merchants sell heavy-duty plastic rolls or if you know any builders they will have a roll tucked away somewhere. I’ve just acquired a very large tarpaulin and a roll of plastic for the same reason.
