    Last year after last items lifted, I sowed over 2 areas a green manure .... this is a healthy 6" high at moment .... at what point do I dig (or rotovate) it in.

    A smidge before it sets seed. Or just before you require the ground, I should dig it in, you don't want it growing again, which green manure did you use?

    Cheers, Tony.

      Thoughts on the statement 'a good covering of weeds is as good as a crop of green manure'?
