We had a baby about 6 weeks ago so our allotment has been neglected for a bit. At the beginning of April it was pretty bare, cardboard laid over two plots and a few bails of hay on top. Looked pretty clean.
Came to it today for the first time and it’s gone mental. There’s a pond and a path which were so covered you couldn’t see any of it. Managed to cut some of it down and I’ll dig out whatever grows back. Lots of comfrey, nettles and grass. Most of it will rot down and feed the soil at least.
Surprisingly though where I had dug in some potatoes there was very little weed growth. That was the one place I was expecting weeds.
