weeds

poo

Hi there,l deal with different kinds of problems,by the relaxed approch ie: regular mulching, with either, garden compost mixed with bark and a bit of multy purpose compost.

As l encourage birds,bees,buterflies and everthing else you care to mention,l don't worry too much about about when things go wrong, it's just going with flow, trial and error.

good luck. Bumpie

Hi bumpie that's one way to do it but as the old saying goes you usually get out of it what you put in that's my belief anyway.

One isnt bothering with compost heaps anymore, Bumpie doesnt weed.

If I do put bark on the ground, I follow up with fertilizer, I cant afford to buy multi compost for mulching so compost heaps and weeding are still for me.

It would need a very thick mulch to sort out my weeds, 18inches might do it. But probably not, I have hogweed and bindweed emerging at the top of 3 foot heaps of shreddings in summer

A good sharp Dutch hoe used regularly is the best way to deal with weeds in my experience
