My first plot became too water logged so I moved a bit further down the site. Now this one is riddled with dock leaves. It started with the abandoned site being strimmed by my council they left everything to reroot the few docks became 1,000's i have cleared and dug over this plot for three years now. they have not gone but are going sometimes i think of giving up but the pleasure the allotment gives out weighs the bad points. The funny thing is 3 years later i still say i should have used weedkiller but every Sept/Oct i promise it will be done then the rains arrive for the winter and another year goes by without weedkilling everything so tell them get it done just this once they will thank the council in the end and save all the weeding.
