Speaking as somebody who has invested in a whole bale of weed control fabric to be deployed on this year's brassica patch, this looks really promising!!! <br /><br />Grass can be a weed too, can't it.Malhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169050358049841998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-60617939022587771552014-03-26T00:14:06.230+00:002014-03-26T00:14:06.230+00:00The vegetbales are looking great!

I ripped up some very old weed control fabric yesterday, and the soil underneath looks great. There were some ancient (non-productive) strawberries in there, and they were easy to remove. I'll be putting potatoes in there soon. The weed control fabric makes such a difference, a plot neighbour was singing it's praises the other day too. I'm a convert!CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153913301497672504.post-5727741507717938932014-03-25T09:59:54.934+00:002014-03-25T09:59:54.934+00:00Sounds like you've got it cracked.
