thanks unfortunatly its not that plot its my other one its wast high in nettles and grass and bindweed im just about getting there with the first one iv re read the web pages and hear is what they say
When one starts to clear a plot ready to cultivate it, the first thing is to decide how
this is to be done. First cut back all weeds to ground level with a sickle or better still
if you can borrow or hire a strimmer, this makes the job easier and quicker.
Then you have to decide which is the best way to turn the plot over, by digging it by hand
or by machine, machine is quickest but digging by hand allows you to remove perennial weeds, as only a small piece left in the round, can soon start to grow again, but with a large plot this can take quite a long time, but in my opinion its the best way.
With machinery, first one must weed kill the plot with a translocated weed killer, after
spraying, the plot is left alone for 10-14 days to give the weed killer time to work, then
you go over the plot with a rotavator which can be hired from a tool hire firm, they are
quiet reasonable to hire for a day. After rotavating over the plot, rake any perennial
roots off the top of the soil and remove them and burn them.
Now the plot is clear, divide the plot into 3; so you have A. B. C. this is so you can
practice crop rotation, as you should not grow the same vegetable in the same plot year
after year.
As an example if we were to grow Brassicas in plot A we would need to lime unless the soil
was alkaline, then rake in a general purpose fertiliser two weeks before planting or
sowing.
In plot B if we were growing Beans, Pea, leek, lettuce, onion, spinach, sweet corn,
we need to add liberal amounts of well rotted manure or compost at digging time,
rake in a general purpose fertiliser two weeks prior to sowing or planting. In plot
C we use for roots, beetroot, carrots, parsnips and potatoes, do not add lime, manure
or compost, rake in a general purpose fertiliser two weeks before sowing or planting.
