If you let weeds grow, and go to seed, they will continue to re-appear for years to come. Chickens may take care of many of the weeds, but other garden uses would benefit from being kept clear of weeds to lessen weeding in them when they become gardens. Mulch can be very helpful in this effort. Thanks Bob. That sounds like some good advice. I think the weed situation could be an on-going battle as there's quite a bit of untouched, natural land nearby which has alot of vegetation. I've read that once a lawn is established, it's much harder for weeds to take hold. Is that right? It would make sense as they'd have to penetrate the grass with their dense roots. Harder, but they still show up. I just walk around my lawn with a hand sprayer of weed-b-gon once in a while, and spritz the few that do show up. Again, getting them before they go to seed makes a huge difference. |
