    My allotment plot has had this weed for a while but this season it’s become more invasive. It’s a terrible weed to get rid of as the roots can be very deep and hand weeding simply breaks it off but the smallest piece of root left can regrow. I hate using chemical weed killer but I may have to resort to using it at least on the paths between my beds which are mostly raised. Anyone had experience of this pernicious weed?

Allotment and Edible Gardening

This allotment and edible gardening group is to talk to like minded individuals about their experiences and plans, to exchange ideas, get advice, sharing of seeds, plugs, etc. - essentially, anything to do with allotment or edible gardening. I am also hoping we can meet up, perhaps in turns, at each other's plots. This group is open to anyone anywhere with an allotment or a keen interest in learning about allotment culture and edible gardening. As it is a relatively new group, we will also need to see how it evolves organically - very much my style of gardening, as chemical free and organic as possible :-) So far, so good ...do sign up, you'll be most welcome.
