What are weeds?

Weeds are plants considered undesirable or invasive in areas such as lawns, pastures, and gardens.

Why do weeds grow?

Nature despises bare soil! Whenever the soil is disturbed, weeds are likely to emerge. Some seeds can remain dormant in the soil seed bank for decades. Additionally, the presence of certain weeds can indicate an imbalance in the soil. Conducting a soil test can help determine if any amendments are necessary.
