Camel CSA’s growing team are continuing their perennial battle against the dock weed menace.

We’re weakening these tough plants by suppressing their growth underneath large sheets of black plastic.

All the docks then have to be dug out by hand. This method is extremely time consuming and labour intensive. But it does keep us fit!

We do this because we’re committed to organic growing principles and don’t use chemical sprays.
