We've been laying down old carpet and unwanted off cuts as a weed suppressant; it's worked really well. As ever there is some discussion around how eco /organically friendly this method actually is and we'll be investigating some other methods to try out next season: no-dig and lasagne methods.
Any way, on Friday we lifted some of the carpet we laid several months ago on the second plot and the soil looked great, apart from a few roots the ground was clear of weeds and only needs a light digging over before planting can begin.
