Hello & welcome

Hi MrG

Welcome to the Vine

You will also be close to my allotment, also in NE Manchester (Oldham to be precise) so if you ever fancy swapping seeds or seedlings once the growing season gets underway just drop me a PM.

Hi two sheds Thanks for the info on Glyphosate I'm assuming I would get that from the garde3n centre but I also take it I wont be able to grow any spuds this year though so I have to make a decision to spray or not to spray? Could I not spray this after the spuds come up then leave?

Thank you Mr Grower

You need to dig out what you can, and then plant your potatoes. The potato foliage will shade out a lot of the weeds. Do not use glyphosate when or where any crops are growing. When you harvest your spuds you can dig out a lot of the couch grass roots too.

Thanks Rustylady and Samurailord I will take your advice on hand \rusty and Samurai that would be good i'm over in Newton Heath so not a problem sorting something out once I get sorted.
