The Truth About Weeds

Why is it that the weeds grow better than anything else in the yard after a week of rain?

Maybe we've been mislead. Maybe weeds are meant to be cultivated and what we refer to as lawn is actually the stuff we should be plucking.

Perhaps lawns started as nothing more than a marketing gimmick created by some guy with the lass name of Scott.

Mr. Scott had access to boo coo chemicals but needed an angle for selling the stuff. So he bagged up a bunch of weed seed, gave it the new name of lawn seed, and then sold chemical mixes to make the weeds flourish and choke out the good stuff.

So now the good stuff is relegated to sidewalk edges and garden borders. And the Scott family is laughing all the way to the bank.
