Title: Rotovating question
Post by: Ice on December 21, 2006, 20:46

:?: My new plot doesn't seem to have anything in except old veg stems and grass, no pesky perennial weeds.  Also, there are 10 rows of potatoes in the ground which are close to the surface and mushy, definately not edible.  Can I get the whole plot rotovated?  Also, there is a small amount of perpetual spinach right in the middle, can I safely transplant it :? ?  Seems a shame to lose it.

Thanks folks

Denise

Thanks Karl.  Thinking of getting chucks too, just two or three, but havn't told the neighbours yet.  They feed the birds constantly and it's like a scene from a hitchcock film somedays, so they might be ok with it.  But won't be getting a cockerel. :lol:
