Watch what's being done around you - as I said before. Hey hoe, hey hoe! If weeds aren't allowed to grow they don't set seed so the seed don't germinate so they don't grow so they don't set seed so you don't get weeds ad infinitum. Except of course things like twitch/couch grass or nettles. In that case dig up the roots, use a fork, not a spade, because a spade cuts up the roots and every little bit will grow. Get out all the white or yellow bits you can, and burn them. Having said that,stinging nettle leaves are delicious, when lightly boiled 50/50 with spinach. They're full of iron, apparently!
It may take a couple of years, but dig out, as deeply as you can every bit of root you see. If and when new top growth appears, repeat. Incidentally, I reckon you mean "herbicides"
I am living in the mountains of southern Spain where we have heavy clay soil, hot, dry, summers, cold and wet winters. I have a drip feed watering system which I turn on morning and evening for 15 minutes or so. My potato crop has come along well and is flowering but I need to know when to harvest. Short of digging them up to investigate is there any sign I should look out for that they are ready?
grew my tatties in the ground last year, and got lots of tasty but scabby potatoes so this year am growing in sacks. NOT the ones you can buy, I've utilised my giant empty compost sacks, they actuall hold more than most of the potato growing bags/sacks that you can get. I've used Swift this year for the first time and they seemto be doing well. Hopefully I'll be able to use them without peeling this year!
