I posted about this a week or so ago, had another look at my seed beds today - bl*%%y grass!!
I can hoe out the weeds and hand weed around my teeny carrots & beetroot because they're easy to spot - have given up all hope on the chard, salsify & snips.
Everything is in 2 beds about 10foot by 3, covered with debris netting on water pipe hoops & bamboo, weighted down with wood battens on the edge of the netting. it looks very nice, but it's a pain to get to for weeding.
Even if I pull out the loose weeds, and I removed as much of the roots as I could when prepping the beds, all that's happening now is that all the bits of grass seed that were left on the soil for 2 years are now germinating and i can't easily hoe what's looking increasingly like a lawn!
So should I just hoe what I can, leave the grass for now & hope survival of the fittest kicks in (in which cas I think the grass will win) or - glyphosate it, cover it & leave it til next year
or fork it over again to remove as much of the grass ( and seedlings
), and replant minus the hoops so I can nuke the weeds & grass as soon as they appear this time - or is there any other alternative so I can have a few carrots & snips later this year?
