What to do with dead weeds.
« on: May 23, 2012, 20:31 »
Hi one and all! I have a small section of my plot that was over run with weeds (dandelions mainly) that I have killed off with glyphosate! The weeds are now browning almost dead I'd say! My question is, what to do with the remains, do I dig them in or pull them up? I don't want them to reappear! Thanks in advance. G

Technically you should be able to dig them in, but I'd be wary of roots underground that hadn't been completely killed off, and I tend to dig them out instead.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I have dug mine out and put the roots in to a barrel of water to "drown"  but now I dont know what to do how long will they take as the water is a bit smelly  :wacko: and can I use this water a feed ? sorry to hijack this thread  :)
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

My grapevines look dead. I've just spent £30 on two dead sticks
