What does rotivation do?

you tried one yourself. You can hire them by the day. Another disadvantage is that if there are nasty perrenial weeds such as couch grass, horsetail, bindweed, ground elder to name but 4 ( there are lots more), the rotovator will chop them up by Jamesyjables

any idea what it is

in the ground and like ground elder you think you've dug it all out but then back it comes if you've left the tiniest bulb behind. It spreads mercilessly. Enjoy it in the local woods and plant an Italicum instead - much prettier leaves and more controllable by trifid house

can remember as a child I HATED broad beans, but really enjoy them now. It helps I think if you can shell them if they're a bit on the elderly side. Butter beans...mmmmm! I left some runners (Moonlight I think was the variety) to dry in their pods a by BrummieBen

Theft of Patio Planters and Containers

as it sounds like you are having problems with theft.I take it there's not an option to make your patio more secure? Intruder alert lights. A video camera to catch them at it. Secure the access to your patio with locked gates. Attach them to the ground by Pat Mansfield

't work for some weeds such as ground elder, mare's tail and other creepers as they just burrow along and come up further along. I have lifted membrane before now only to find spaghetti jungle of roots underneath, even after months being covered by Reluctant Gardener
