While invasive plants and weeds present a growing hazard for local ecosystems and gardens, it’s important to remember that weeds also possess unexpected benefits. Firstly, you can disperse coffee grounds on the soil to discourage weed growth and fertilize your plants. Lastly, for weeds that sprout up between paving stones, avoid using harsh chemicals; instead, spray white vinegar between the stones and rinse with water after a few hours. On the other hand, if managed properly, so-called weeds can be beneficial elements in a garden.
