is there anything that is persistent?

Morning all, thanks for the ideas, can I check what you mean by SBK? as for use of matting, its OK, but as this is around slabs over existing beds etc sadly its not an option. most are light/soft weeds with only a small number of things like brambles around. cheers!

If I'm already digging it all up then I might as well try and save a little time and money later on so using something as a duct was an idea! forgotten about using a mole but again if its all up already - when its not really needed. and the idea of leaving MDPE sticking out of the front...
