My local council in their infinate wisdom strimmed the vacant plot chopped all the docks up and promptly left them. Then daft me comes along takes the plot on and there you have it im still digging docks out. My hard work is paying off they are going slowly, but as i say hard labour never killed anyone not even the blessed docks.....I enjoy it really I took my plot on 3 years ago and i am still digging up dock roots.

Am a fairly new allotmenteer and have taken over a plot with grass-verges inbetween the cultivation rows. Thought I could manage to keep the grass cut fairly low but when I arrived this weekend found rows of wall-to-wall dandelions flowering everywhere! Any suggestions for an immediate solution or do I really have to dig them all up down to the last one? And how should I maintain my walk-ways then? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks MC Absolutely love your site thankyou.
