Evening all
The little house I own has a small lump of soil at the back, so I thought this year I'd try my hand at growing a few of my own veg. Bear in mind I know nothing about gardening!
Up until a week ago there were knee high weeds in there, now I've got most of them up, and forked and raked the soil over. My question to all you veteran gardeners is should I use weedkiller before planting any vegetables or is sufficient to just plant and keep weeding? There were a lot of weeds in there but I'm a little concerned weedkiller will also kill any of my soil's nutrients, or am I being daft?
Any pointers will do, plus pics of your own produce, etc, can't hurt :)
