buy a ltr of Bayers Glyphosate Concentrate Weed Killer from Amazonstarting at the top end of the allotment with 2 rows of string mark off the plot into 2 rows around 6 feet apart and spray this area, then move string 1...... 6 foot in front of string 2 and spray, keep doing this till you have sprayed all the plot....this method will make shure all the plot is sprayed all over and no ground is missed-in 4 or 5 weeks you can burn off the old grass and digJimtheworzel
I have just acquired a new allotment overrun with tall grass and little in it (some potatoes, a couple of small apple trees and a sorry looking rhubarb plant). It is a large half size, slopes gently, has little protection from the prevailing south westerlies, is Devon red soil and drains well except for a claggy bit in the corner.My question is, other than getting rid of the overgrown is there anything that I can do to help for next year and also for instant gratification!
For a bit of inspiration take a look at my blog website about my plot (forest) I took over in November... been a lot of work but really enjoying it.. www.gavinconway.net
