OH & I seem to be in dissagreement about which weeds can be dug in & what needs to come out. I tend to pull out all weeds which is slow & back breaking & he likes to dig everything in.

Not sure which is right KG - I pulled all mine out - back breaking at the time, but it certainly paid dividends later in the year!

Appreciate the little things in life because one day you will realise they are the big things -
Think it depends on the weed type and if there are any flower seeds etc present - no doubt somebody can give better advice but I tend to go for th pull it all out and then add safe organic material separately. Would be interested to know what anybody else does.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

I'm with Nick. Annual weeds will not regrow from the roots so as long as there are no seed heads just dig them in. Perennials will be straight back if you leave the roots so have them all out. And don't let any weeds flower or they will seed all over the place.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
