Everything you want to know about weeds: http://www.ergonica.com.
When every commentary pretty much addds up to "buy this crappy gizmo"
there just isn't any credibility to be had, & the half-dozen pages I
looked at had very little information anyone would be seeking about weeds,
though there were a gods-plenty advertisements.
But there ARE many fine weed & wildflower websites which can be found with
a google search, the primary goal of such sites being to inform, not to
provide continuous sales-pitches for useless garden geegaws. The subject
is enormous & no one website covers it all: desirable wildflowers, native
plant gardening, noxious, alien, & invasive species, harvesting edible
wild plants, poisonous weeds, regional websites on identification of
weeds, big photo galleries devoted to weeds, organic vs chemical weed
control, & so on. Here's a sampler of vastly more interesting info-packed
weed websites:
