Hello to all!!
Have been reading these threads avidly for about six weeks which is about the length of time me and a friend have aquired our own bit of wilderness.
The plot was totally overgrown with grasses, dandelions and various other things of which I havnt a clue what they are!!
I think we've done pretty well in the time we have had it.
(Ive never done any gardening in my life by the way!!)
We have managed to get some main crop potatoes in, some beetroot, some rhubarb, onions and some girly plants for a bit of colour.
Have got about a third dug over and just trying to get weed roots up as we go but Ive come to one part where there are just loads and loads of long white things amongst all the soil. (Soil is quite clay)
Taking ages to dig this part over as such a long process to get all the long white bits out.
I was hoping one of you experts could tell me what this is and the best way to deal with it?
The best bit we feel is our compost heap!! lolol We both work in a restaurant so are getting all the veg peelings, egg shells , coffee filters, tea bags etc to quickly build up our compost heap which seems to quickly be breaking down.
When we have dug it all over , should we be covering bits that we wont get to use this year? Im hoping to get hubby to split the plot into various beds but that depends on if I can persuade him
