a friend has just strimmed my weeds and i am going to spray them this week as its not in a growing area.

Once the weed killers been exposed for a while i am going to have another go at supressing them.

The rest of my plot which i dealt with earlier in the year is fine :) phew :)

If the weather is going to remain this cold you might be wasting your time.

Plants will only take in the weedkiller when it is actually growing, this cold weather will slow this process down indeed if it works at all.

If you are using a 'glyphosate' based weedkiller I would wait until fresh growth resumes in spring.
