My allotment was covered completely in ground weeds (grass, dock leaves and buttercups). I'm about a third of the way through digging them up but just wanted to make sure I'm doing it right. I've pulled up all the weeds and as many of the deep roots as possible. There seem to be thousands of worms which I'm hoping is a good sign, any slugs/snails etc I've slung over the fence into the stream (sorry if you're an animal lover).
Each time I go i turn the soil on what I have all ready dug removing any more roots that come to the surface and any stones. Then I dig another new bed and start the whole process again. I'm digging 2m x 2m beds and I've got five so far.
Today when I went I put some green manure seeds on three of the beds and I've got onion, garlic and a row of peas in another plus the new bed that I've dug today.
Am I doing anything majorly wrong or is this ok?
