The bed where I grew peas and broad beans is now covered in chickweed. I removed the haulms about 2 weeks ago, and raked the ground over ready for rotavating in Oct. or Nov.. The whole area is now covered with this weed. Do I dig it out or rotavate it into the soil? Any advice please.
If you dig it in make sure it's all buried or like speedwell it will continue growing... :)
I would boil it up and make a brew out of it.
There was an old boy near me as a kid would drink it every day and he lived a long time without a need for the doctors.
Not sure what it tastes like as I have never tried it.
Find someone with chickens - the chooks just love it!
Thanks folks. I am pondering. Might ask the chicken lady 5 plots along if she wants to take her hens out for a walk.
