The NEVER ENDING Battle with Couch Grass! 🌿 UK Allotment Bed Prep

The NEVER ENDING Battle with Couch Grass! 🌿 UK Allotment Bed Prep #allotment #allotmentgardening #newplot After being away from the plot for a few weeks with a chest infection, Woody and I are finally back! Today is all about the backbreaking but necessary task of clearing couch grass from the allotment beds to get them ready for planting. In this video, I share my process for manually digging out these invasive roots [01:51] and why I believe a fork is better than a rotavator for this specific problem [03:44]. I also show the satisfaction of a clean bed [05:55] and get some Maris Bard potatoes and red onion sets into the ground [07:21].
