These past months on the allotment I have lost 2 sowings of carrots,salad leaves,fennel and some flowers to chickweed. The seedlings were simply smothered by the damn stuff. I weed my allotment (to the amusement of others) relentlessly.So its not down to neglect. I also find that any enclosure such as that around carrots even seems to encourage chickweed. The crop smothering my netted salad leaves was astounding.Can anyone rid me of this weed or at least a way to tame it? Also I never dig it in and always try to catch it before it seeds.
Oh and if anyone is tempted to say.... A YEAR TO SEED, SEVEN TO WEED>>>>>DON'T !!
Nor do I want to eat it. HELP PLEASE.
