Hello folks,
I'm new here and fairly new to growing veg n coloured plants. I'm after advice on how, in the long term, to deal with what I think is Twitch/Couch Grass in my veg plot. The plot has been out of action for nearly 2 years (other work commitments) but I am making an effort to get back into it. I have been using Roundup in the past to try and keep control of weeds but want to go as organic as I can. I have cleared and dug over my plot just to find quite a bit of this weed. I have pulled as much out by hand as reasonably practicable but I know even the smallest bit will grow back. I read on here 'Henry's' advice to cover with turnip seeds to force out the Twitch, does this work. My other thoughts were to just see this season through with keeping on top of weeding, and then for winter cover the plot with cardboard and black dampproof membrane ( I read that somewhere). Your thoughts and advice please. I work more than full time so my gardening time is limited. Kind regards. Chris
