The mission : Get Rid of 50 sq metres of foot high couch, buttercups and bindweed on a new plot.I've done my searching and think I have a foolproof ( or prove a fool) plan. If you spot any obvious errors please shout !!1. Scythe/Strim/Mow all the top bit off and compost it.2. Foliar Feed to get lots of leaf growth and leave until about 6" high.3. Apply Roundup and leave for 3-4 weeks.4. Scrape off thatch and set aside for long term compost ( or Strawbery raviola according to one post I found ! ).5. Plant courgettes, pumkins and squashes this year to ground cover, and start properly with some autumn planting for next year !!What do you think ?Keithy
Hi there, In my experience,I haven't found couch grass to be as bad as some people think.Once you've cultivated the ground the couch and the buttercups shouldn't be too daunting. Don't know about the bindweed though.I beleive that one IS a bit tricky to eradicate without the use of chemicals. Best of luck-Marky.B. :)
