As if you would let the weeds get ahead of your veggies. I have.
The groundsel is threatening to swamp my baby leeks and shallots (from seed). Problem is that it causes huge losses when I try to pull out the large root ball it has - I'd have no leeks left.
So I am trying a new technique. I use scissors to snip off the groundsel below the crown & simply leave the roots in place. I am hoping that regrowth won't happen or, if it does, will be slow enough to let the leeks swamp the groundsel for a change! Same thing with annual grasses.
Anyone tried this technique? Did it work?
