I dont really do anything about weeds anymore. I let the dandelions do their things. I have some patches of crab grass but it doesnt bother me. The clover doesnt grow very high but when it is full bloom you can tell when it is walked on in high traffic. We have wild turkeys too and they will roost on the clover and it leaves imprints in the ground but it springs back after a day or so.
I couldn't find a source for this, but I heard that we were convinced to think of dandelions as weeds by the makers of a herbicide so that we would accept the collateral damage.
Dandelions were brought to North America as a food crop. We can eat every part of the plant. They're an invasive species, but not what I would consider a weed.
Anything can be a weed. All a weed is it a plant growing is the wrong spot in the eyes of a human.
Agreed, but Monsanto would love us to believe all kinds of plants are weeds so we buy their chemicals.
A field of dandelion flowers is beautiful.
And also, a field of invasive species that drove out the native plants… Just saying.
Theres only one plant in my yard i consider a “weed”. It grows almost like a carrot or a parsnip. But it grows a long thick root straight down and has a small leafy part on top. And when you pluck them out it leaves a cone shaped hole. No clue what it is but ive been calling it a tuber lol
Lol, you don't put Roundup on your lawn unless you don't want a lawn anymore.
2,4D is the stuff that kills "weeds" but not grass.
Oh ok, I must have remembered wrong. I edited to be less specific.
