Hi Gerry, I am preparing a veg. garden for the first time. How do I get rid of the grass and roots, presumably I cannot use any weed deterrant, is it possible to cover the grass area a few weeks before digging in order to let the grass roots die off a bit? Thanks , Maguto

I know about the "June Drop", but my apples (Worcester Pearmain), growing against a South facing wall, keep dropping until they are all gone, long before they are ripe, or big enough. Is this a deficiency?

Gerry, I have new ground that was never gardened before and was wondering where to start. It is now basically a field. Should I spray it first to get rid of weeds and grass or plough it up or what? I intend to grow vegetables on it.Conor.
