[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why hate the weeds? I have never understood this. You know that weeds are plants, and that some of them look quite nice? [/quote] For me it depends on what weeds and in what quantity. Our yard has always been weedy, and things like dandelions and clover I don’t mind at all. Crabgrass and oxalis, I tolerate too. But we’ve had an increasingly bad problem with creeping Charlie- it just takes over everything and outcompetes the grass. The smell after mowing bothers our allergies (I think it’s in the mint family) and it has a poor root system so is bad for soil stabilization. We raked a lot of it up in the fall and over-seeded, but when it came back this spring we hit it with tricolphor. I wasnt proud of it and do t know if it will work but I don’t want a monoculture “lawn” of this obnoxious weed.[/quote]
