Using chemicals to clear a plot.

If rotovating tomorrow save your weedkiller for the millions of shoots that will spring from the chopped up roots in a few weeks.

BTW, never spray then cover with tarps etc, glyphosate will only kill healthy growing weeds.

Somebody has suggested Glyphosphate as a cure to my first overgrown allotment for cooch grass, i have hired a rotovator tomorrow, is this a good idea to combine the 2.

With hindsight, we would have been better spraying the lot, leaving it to die and then rotovating a couple of weeks later, otherwise you just rotovate more weeds for yourself if you use it too early.
