Binnd Weed And Brambles

I have just taken over an allotment in the last few months. It hasn't been worked in ten to fiften years and is full of bindweed and bramble roots. I want to put a lawn at the bottom as it pritty big. But i havent a clue how to go about it. should i dig it out and remove as much weed aspossble and lay turf. Or if any one can suggest any other way it would be much appreciated. many thanks lizzy

 

spray off any growing weeds with roundup, rotovate and rake. seed and keep watered.

Both the bindweed and brambles will be kept at bay by regular mowing.

 

Agree with Pro Guard.
Round Up weed killer is absorbed through the leaves of the plants, so don't cut the weeds to the ground before applying the Round up.

Some bind weed will almost certainly survive the whole lawn-making process, and pop up through the lawn, but as Pro Guard says, regular mowing will eventually exterminate it.

Not sure why you want the lawn, but don't assume it will save you time compared to growing other things on the allotment. A decent lawn can be time-consuming.

 

Tanks for he help, sounds good .The lawn is for my daughter to play on while i work. we live in a village just off the mendipsin the west country so the allotment has become alovely hobby for the family so we try to spend as much time on it as possible.

 

Thats thanks and mendips
