Weed control on my plot

Has anyone had any experience of the B&Q Weed Fabric?

Thanks

@trogg thanks!

This makes me glad my plot is a friend's garden!  Don't let the b*** beat you! you can soon hoe the weeds off if nothing else, they won't grow much more this year now.

If you can find out who has complained would this help or is there a committee member you can have a quiet confidential word with?  Sounds like a pretty mean action to me!  Remember Yes you can! as Obama would say.

i always get weeds growing amongst the veggies, so i just bend down and pull the lot out by hand. the soil is softish so they come out easily. some break at the stem but personally not too bothered about weeds, as it needs clearing on a yearly basis.

Well, I was crossing my fingers in hope - but I got the letter from the committee yesterday 

They say they've had a complaint about the weeds on my plot. . . not sure if it's worth carrying on if it's going to be so hard to maintain

I think they would have a fit if they saw my plot! Don't give up, if you can, roundup any groungd  that has no veg in it and leave it to kill the weeds, reapply next spring if necessary. Or if you don't want to use weedkiller have a look on free cycle for some old carpet (not foam backed) and lay it down to suppress them and leave it until you are ready to use it nest year.  for the ground you are using for veg just keep the hoe going over it, making sure the blade is sharpe as mentioned before. Once you get on top of it an hour or two a week will be enough to keep on top of them. 

Don't give up, and don't let it get you down, everyone gets weeds!

My advice is to weed it by hand. No weedkillers for me, do a rough "big weeds" cull often - get all of the roots from docks, dandelions etc. , then get down amongst the littler ones, and after a bit you'll be on top of it.

I love the weeding, find it very satisying to see the difference that it makes...I hardly ever hoe (sometimes between onions/leeks) , I prefer to use a hand fork and dibble out all of the roots, find it keeps em from coming back.

You seem unlikely with the committee at your site. We have the opposite problem in that there are several plots way, way worse than yours, and 300 people on the waiting list, and the council does nothing...v frustrating.

Little and ofeetn will sort you weeds, cover in the winter with black cloth-type sheeting, easy job left come spring!!

Don't give up, keep a full plot, I work full time too, but am close to my plot, and pretty keen too!!

frosts are not too far away now ,

Just ruined my day you have.
