Thanks for the article.
Thank you!
I thought we were talking about a different weed. Legalize!
My interactive website www.ilda.com.au, features lots of free info on lawns, lawn alternatives (for Australia) and weeds.
On the Home page, click on 'Plants', and on the drop-down menu click on 'Lawns' and 'Weeds'.
Monica D.'s comment seemed very on-target. "Living" mulches also help conserve water and provide food/cover for wild-life.
There is an article on Care2 about edible weeds. Many plants should probably not be labelled "weeds".
Weeds are good. It prevents soil errosion. It retains moisture in soil and is a habitat to freindly pests and bugs and some of them has medicinal value.
thanks
