Excerpt from Primer for Town Farmers One of the big reasons for cleaning up gardens, and lawns, and flower beds is to get rid of weeds. Weeds cause back-yard gardens more trouble than a fussy hen with strange chicks. They ruin more gardens, and Spoil more lawns, and disgrace more flower beds than any other plants that grow. Weeds are one of the gardener's worst enemies. They wage a constant warfare against flowers and vegetables from the time the seeds are planted until the crops are harvested And fighting weeds is like fighting a pack of wild dogs. You'll make progress as long as you face your enemies, but the minute you turn your back they'll get you. Weeds are not only unsightly in a back-yard garden or in a flower bed, but they actually injure the desirable plants that you want to grow. Weeds injure plants directly first, by stealing food from the plants. Second, by stealing moisture from the plants. And third, by crowding and shading the plants, and robbing them of sunshine.
