The thing about 'weeds' is that they are thugs.
They multiply and multiply and don't give the more 'delicate' plants a

So what's the difference between weeds and good "ground cover"?

I suppose ground cover is just that - something that spreads from a
central 'root' as it were. It's easy to chop off round the edges to stop
it encroaching. Weeds (in the dandelion, dock, thistle etc category)
spread seeds everywhere and do not stay in just one central spot and
consequently are difficult to control.
