Hello everyone!
I got my first allotment in autumn and had to build it from scratch. After a general pre-winter rotation I have now build my raised beds and have started to sow seeds outside. Unfortunately a quarter of the allotment seems to be infested with a tiny weeds. They are very easy to pull out but there are literally hundreds of them!
I haven't got a picture to hand, but will try to take one in the next days. Can anyone already guess what I am talking about? They are about one centimetre high and have two tiny green leaves.
Two of the three beds thee beds the weeds have spread to are still uncultivated (apart from a general digging over a few weeks ago). If I rotate the soil again, will the little weeds come back and should I rather pull them out one by one? And how do I deal with them on the other bed, where I have sown beet root?
Thanks for your help!
