Hi, new boy here!
I have a half plot that is a little overgrown. It is a long narrow plot, approx 5m x 20m. I dont intend to get it all productive this summer, but there is a central section that is clear of fruit shrubs that I would like to make a start on.
How would you suggest I make a start this summer? I have heard that potatos and pumpkins / squash really help to get the weeds under control. Is it too late to plant main crop potatos?
I have a number of squash seedlings that I have in my greenhouse, I am thinking of pulling / trimming as much weeds as I can, covering with cardboard or landscape fabric and then planting these through some holes. Is that a good idea?
I also plan on planting a few wigwams of beans. Can these be planted through cardboard?
