hello all, Im a new lottie person just started in August. My plot is covered in bindweed and crouch grass but I am slowly getting on top of it. Well half way down the plot actually. I think it may take me a year to dig it all over, as you know getting this stuff out is a pain. Hope you all have helpful advise for this novice cos I need it. I have planted some japaneese onions and garlic, oh and a cherry tree but that is about it. My plot is on a 15 degrees slope from top to bottom so I am tiering it as I dig (should be growing rice on it !) I hope to make them into raised beds eventually but the first year I just want to grow something ! Hope to hear from you all soon.
Hey wavy, Welcome to GC... Sounds like you have your work cut out there then... Best time of the year to be getting on top of it all though... Just make sure you get all those tiny peices of root out or they will be suprising you next year..!! :eek: Have a look in edible gardening we have a few "Lotties"..! :D Also have a read of Plotty's blog.. Well lots to see & do here... Enjoy..
Hi wavy.Good luck with the weeds.I wish now i`d just used round up when i started.I know exactly where your comming from.A couple of good tips when your working on your new plot;always have something to eat in your pocket and invest in a decent sized flask.
Hello Wavy. Hope you like Gardeners Corner. Your plot may seem like really hard work at the minute but give it a couple of years and I'm sure you'll reap the benefits. Keep smiling.
Hi Wavy, welcome and good luck with your new plot. If the work seems a little daunting, just clear half of it this year and half next so that at least you'll be able to grow something.
Thank you for your words of encouragement. I will keep plodding on but I must admit I cant wait till the winters over !
I know it's the wrong time for planting wavy, but don't forget that growing potatoes is a very good way of "cleaning" the soil after you have dug & weeded. So if you can claer it, plant it with potatoes if nothing much else next year..!!! Good luck... It will be worth it..!! Honest..!! :D
