There are few inexpensive and low-labor options to control the aggressive field invaders, which sometimes encroach on neighboring farms and potentially cut into their profits.
Weeds are uninvited guests. They arrive unannounced, take up space, consume valuable assets (like water and soil nutrients) and just won’t leave, despite our best efforts.
If you’ve really been unlucky, you might have looked at your yard, vegetable garden or raised bed and discovered that you had an abundance of a white-flowered vining plant just appearing all over.
This winter’s been a relatively wet one, so it really shouldn’t come as such a big shock when many plants in this region respond to the abundance of water.
