What we need to remember is that weeds take out moisture from soil, take out nutrients which other plants need, compete for sunlight, and don't quote me on this, but I'm kind of guessing they could potentially affect the gene bank of some plants.
They therefore affect bio-diversity and can be catastrophic to crops.

A blog by Nicolle Kuna
A blog about sustainable landscaping and some eco-humour and eco-creativity.
Inside this blog we look at everything that is encroaching in to our natural urban landscapes – outdoor rooms (errchkem), weeds, urban noise, excess nutrientsThere’s a bit of art to add extra colour and inspiration. We believe in making sustainability fun - more gaming, less shaming.
