Once they've got a brown skin loosen them from the soil with a fork and then lift after a few days. Dry in an airy place - not the greenhouse, that results in cooked onions!

Our allotment beds are covered in it and we are struggling to get rid. The paths that have a membrane and are then covered in wood chippings are also full of it. It's a nightmares tail! By the way, we grow our produce organically so no chemicals. Hi John – Do you have any tips on getting rid of marestail. Our allotment beds are covered in it and we are struggling to get rid.
