Weeds - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Sowthistle

Weeds - good or bad? How do they fit into our landscape and soil health? Weeds follow human habitation. Sometimes unsightly, sometimes daunting, weeds crowd out desirable plants and cause considerable frustration for gardeners and farmers. While they can be difficult to eradicate, there are safe ways to control your weeds. Despite the bad and the ugly, weeds may also fit into our landscapes as beneficial additions to gardeners, wildlife and soil health.
