chickweed

Where on earth is it all coming from this year?

Yesterday I pulled 2 buckets worth from my blueberry  8x4 raised bed, which fair enough I don't hoe as its netted - but its only been a fortnight since I cleared it out last time !

I've not seen many of the usual suspects this year, creeping butter cup, dock , nettle or even bindweed just carpets of chickweed with the occasional clump of couch grass in

i dont mind chickweed too much - the main problem on mine is bindweed - wish i had enough time to get it out properly

You could eat it?! John wright on river cottage bites used it before

Do you know anyone with chickens lardman??

Yes me    I tip the buckets into their run, wish they'd get it themselves though. I did try once to allow them accesses but they found my veg far more tasty than the weeds. I have the worlds most cantankerous chickens.

Im not eating it !    thats just wrong !
