Caring for beds and lawns is, perhaps, a more responsible task than sowing seeds. In the process of growing crops or caring for the lawn, every summer resident encounters the same problem - weeds. If we are talking about the latter, then the weeds will choke out the lawn grass and instead of a beautiful lawn, your lawn will be full of a variety of weeds. The same can be said about garden beds. If you do not remove the weeds from them in time, then soon there will be practically nothing left of the cultivated plants; they will be drowned out by weeds.
Weeds tolerate low temperatures and other adverse weather conditions well. They have a high survival rate, which cannot be said about vegetables, berries, fruits and lawn grass.
