What is a Weed?
There are some weeds that are not bad, and there are some weeds that are bad. Some gardeners who like weed call them “therapeutic” so basically a little bit of weed is not that bad. Some things you should know about weed, its just that weed will always be there, and you have to control how much you want in your yard. Some hints from gardeners is that always remember that a weed will always outlast you, no matter how much you try and get ride of it, you can not. Weeds will always be there in your yard even if you do not have grass in your backyard. If you do not have grass in your backyard and all of the sudden you see a patch of green grass type thing growing on the sides of your concrete, that is not grass, that is weed. Some weed is good for beneficial insects and it will help you to prevent erosions. Weeds like to grow in dry and exposed compacted earth.
The reason why weed grows faster than your grass is that weed needs sun to grow, just like your grass. The difference in weed and grass is that weed will grow faster than your grass because the more sun the weed gets the faster it will grow, and what happens eventually is that the weed will grow on top of your grass so that it can get more sun. When this happens the weed will suffocate your grass and grow on top of it so that it can survive. If you want an easy way to remove your weed then it is best to remove them after you are done watering your lawn. Removing the weed after water is easier to remove because the soil is moist. So to prevent having a large amount of weed in your backyard make sure to catch the problem fast and make sure that it is kept in control. If you do not keep your weed in control then you better get ready, because within a short amount of time your weed problem will end up controlling you instead.
