That old black magic.....
...... has me in its spell. Oh yes fellow blogsters it is here! Enough black sheeting to cover the whole allotment. Excited or what. Those weeds have no idea whats coming! Evil Jooles tut tut tut. They have been the bane of my life and now they must die. No light, food or water shall be given to those nasties. I have to work out when its best to do the dastardly deed. Daylight? Nah they'll see me coming and delve their roots further into the unfertile soil. (There's also the chance I may be seen struggling with said sheeting and one would not like to make a fool of oneself now would one huh?). I think the best plan would be at dusk. I feel a plan coming together. I shall dress all in black (balaklava optional - is that the correct spelling - looks suspect to me) and creep up on them and ambush them. Oh Yes!!!!!! Their days are numbered.

You've beenon the gooseberry wine again, haven't you? Still, I'm with you on teh black plastic weed destruction technique - it's been working pretty well for us (apart from where the b*st*rds have managed to poke through the stuff!)
Wouldn't he eat your heart out?
Wish you success with the weed suppressant-I covered my lottie (well almost 95% of it) with 2 huge black sheets of heavy duty black plastic borrowed from a neighbouring plotholder-I used huge stones and various containers of water to hold it in place ie buckets/6 pint milk thingies-even so the winds managed to move the "weights" and the plastic a few times before it dawned on me that stronger measures were needed.Fortunately I had some rope and several metal rods so thankfully I discovered that about 4 lots of rope across the width of the lottie did the trick-mindyou yanking back the plastic in high winds single handed was rather an hilarious experience!!!
Incidently the bl***y bindweed survived the blackout!
