I may as well take notes on here for easy compiling (and gets my photo's in a place I can find them for printing for handing in as a part of my assignment). I've initially decided to focus on an area of 4 vege patches and the paths in between.
My dilemma with weed control has been how to manage the paths and the fact they continue to creep in. I can't raise my garden beds due to the chicken tractor, so need to work within these limits. I have decided to get some weedmat down and cover the paths with it and then add a mulch cover.
This is the first area I will work on and depending on how it goes I may change tactic further down the track (the photo really doesn't do justice).
This bag contains all the convolvulus and creeping buttercup which will hopefully break down over the next 6wks.

Have you considered Linda Woodrow's path system? Dig out the path area and fill it with sawdust whihc breaks down voer time and adds goodness to your garden - you just have to fill it up occasionally.
Love your moonwatcher! Trying to get it to work for my kids' science blogs! Does it take a day to show a picture or have I done something wrong!!!!?
Thanks for the memory job about LW! I did have that in the back of my mind somewhere - hmmm, to find a local source of sawdust...definitely would look nice and give me mulch once it breaks down and needs replacing. Re the moonwatcher - I think it came up straight away once I put the html code into the box?
that's a joG not joB...
