The wonders of chickweed
Moderators: KG Steve, Chantal, Tigger, peter
Last year I was unable to spend as much time on the allotment as usual and as a result one of my beds become completely covered in chickweed. When I finally got round to weeding the result was a wonderfully textured soil underneath. Although prolific, chickweed doesn't appear to do much harm to the plants and if it saves me the trouble of digging I'm all for it.
