I think I've said this before when I recovered from being ill my allotments had gone back to nature weeds of plenty
so i sprayed the two plots with roundup much easier than digging you could say no dig
and after around three weeks I cultivated the ground with the rotavator and it stayed tidy until I winter ploughed the ground no probs
but that's my way of working to make life easier and at the same time rid us of those perennial weeds once and for all but its everyone to there own
