We are trying to wrestle our recently acquired massive garden under control, with zero experience, so I'm beggging for help here . I could write a massive list of questions, but I'm going to start with one about weeds under trees...
We have three small apple trees which presumably date from when the house was built in 1930. They are close together and their branches are all intertwined and reach pretty much down to the ground. Last year I managed to clear the space under them by putting in some hard hours with a machete, but I failed to address the situation this year and it's all back again. I suppose I will have to chop it all again (it's nigh on impossible to get the strimmer under), but what's the best way of controlling this in the long term? Matting? Bark chips? I am really clueless.
