Great stuff Mr Tiler, keep at it, little bit each day and you'll get there.
The plant is a tufted Vetch....a member of the Legume (pea and bean) family. They can get a bit invasive if you let them spread so dig it out if you can
Good luckPlease visit my facebook page for the garden i look after

Yes, well done Mr T, looks great!
My advice: keep visiting your plot about once a week through thick and thin, even during some of the winter months. Then you will forestall any disasters, see what needs doing ahead of time and also maintain your interest in working out how to do it. And you'll be able to say (or even sing) 'I did it my way'!

Plastic and tarpaulins soon degrade with the light and become brittle, it can make a lorra mess. Whereas cardboard composts and feeds the worms / soil. The best cardboard is the plain stuff and bigger sheets are neater than little boxes. Don't use glossy printed cardboard. Once its weighed down with some soil, bricks whatever and becomes wet it doesn't blow around. Plastic sheet doesn't let water through either which is not good.photo album of my garden in my profile http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...my+garden.html

Originally posted by Noosner View PostBill, I've used a lot of cardboard this year and because I've had excess soil around, have just piled soil on top as mulch. Do you think that is ok? It seems to have worked well, but I imagine even better would be to add manure on top?photo album of my garden in my profile http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...my+garden.html
