Glad I put the irrigation down before it sprouted. My plan is to chop the top of the cover when I vine bury but leave the roots in the ground. However, I think much of the cover will start to flower well ahead of the plant growth so at some point I will need to terminate it all. Maybe I will use a hedger!
