https://mastodon.cloud/media/CLP4WSjvnw9YiZEITIA I've been down to my new allotment again. It has been left for years and is covered in 8ft high bramble. I'm getting there, slowly.
@Autismus that looks like a lot of work! It'll be so worth it in the end, though :) Half my garden is covered in kukuyu and buttercup right now, I've been procrastinating but I have to get it dealt with.
@vamp What's kukuyu? Is it a grassed area?
@Autismus its this horribly invasive grass that spreads under and over ground and sneaks into my garden beds. It's especially annoying when I've got seedlings and it pokes up in the middle of them :(
@vamp Have you tried "no dig" gardening?
@Autismus I mostly no-dig, actually. I'd like to dump a huge pile of woodchips on the offending grass (or at least a strip along the edge of the beds) but they're kinda like gold around here. Not as easy to get hold of for cheap as in some parts of the world.
