Preparing my plot for winter.
« on: October 23, 2007, 13:28 »
Hi everyone. this has probbaly been asked a million times before but here goes.

i have finished moving the plants that i wanted to move (with the exception of one that i want to bin and a couple that i will bin once they have died off.

the question is whats best to do with the ground over the winter....is there a way of preventing weeds growing? and is it a good idea to put manure on the plot?



cheers
Andy

But mj are you saying that there's no need to cover to protect against weeds?

I guess it depends. Round here, weeds are still setting seed, so plastic will be going on any clearances not immediately planted.
