    Quick question here - I have a patch of ground that I grew spuds in during 2010 but left untouched last year.

    It's covered in all sorts of low growing weed & some grass sprigs now and Im wondering if I rotovate it now, will I just be spreading the weeds or will they die when they are rotovated ?

    All you will do is spread the weeds all over the place.

    Dig/break the ground with a fork up and remove the weeds,then you can rotivate.

    Or spray the weeds with the likes of Weedol and let the weeds die off,then rotivate.
