Just about to get our hands on the plot of land over the fence to clear of weeds, level and partially lawn to extend our garden. I’ve read the brilliant advice on this site about clearing an allotment of weeds. I was wondering if everybody agrees that chopping down and using the likes of Roundup would be best before levelling? Is late summer a good time to disturb the land in terms of wildlife? All growth is 2 years old as the land was cleared and then fly tipped on by a neighbouring developer!
