[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  You caught me.  In fact, I posted here out of sheer guilt from my "volunteer" trees...whatever that could be.  I only have a weekly lawn service and obviously should be spending night and day in my yard.  Some of you people are insane.[/quote]

OP you never answered what specific "junk trees" and "weeds" in your yard are at issue here.

If it's dandelions and a red mulberry tree (which may be messy but is native BTW), keep on going.

If we're talking, say, Japanese knotweed, Japanese honeysuckle, lesser celandine, for example...well those are problematic and it would be hard to contain the damage to your yard.

Agreed.  Look OP, I get it- I have a 3yo and 5yo and even though I personally like gardening, keeping up with everything with young kids is hard!  But with some of this stuff, the longer you let it fester, the bigger problem it becomes, requiring more time or a bigger investment down the road to get rid of it.  Our neighbor let a volunteer tree take root right next to one of their larger trees and now its so big that they can't remove on their own.  [/quote]
