Weeds – Are they Good or Bad?

Weeds – Are they Good or Bad?

Many people immediately reach for chemicals to kill off weeds that grow in their garden or their yard. Yet this isn’t the best solution to turn to.

First, find out what type of weeds are growing on your property. That will tell you what the problem may be in that area. Some weeds may actually be good for your lawn and you will want to leave them alone as they can serve as a natural organic fertilizer for your yard. The rest of them you will want to pull out by hand or to use tools to fully remove them. Make sure you get them from the roots up so they can’t re-grow as easily.

It is often a thought to just run them over and cut the weeds back with a lawn mower and be done with them.

Trust me, this will not work.

There are seeds within the weeds and when you simply cut them back they will spread further about your lawn – and your neighbor’s.  That will result in your lawn having more weeds than before and in various locations spread throughout it.
