rotavating
« on: February 20, 2013, 22:22 »
New to this forum! Hello

I sowed green manure in the autumn.Most has come up with a fair bit of couch grass too. When should I rotavate?
And...is it better to make raised beds....I feel it looks abit artificial! When I had my own veg garden,I never did that.....

Do Not Rotavate if you have couch grass or you will have a lot more of it !
I cook therefore I grow
