How Weeds Can Take Control of Wheaton Area Lawns
Weeds, like plants, need specific conditions to thrive. Unfortunately, weeds are generally more tolerant of a wider range of conditions than the plants you actually want in your yard, and once the weeds have arrived; they spread quickly. Here are some of the ways that weeds can infiltrate your lawn:
Weeds produce a TON of seeds. For many weeds (Dandelion and Chickweed), the primary reproductive method is producing a ludicrous amount of seeds that are then spread by insects, animals and the wind. Sowthistle weeds, for example, can produce up to 25,000 seeds in its one-year lifespan.
Weed seeds live a long time. Of course, not all of the seeds that spread actually germinate. However, the seeds that are spread can have VERY long spans of viability (time in which the seed can germinate). For example, Ragweed and Pigweed remain viable for around 40 years.
Weeds develop deep root systems. Some weeds (like the common Dandelion) develop deep root systems that make the plant hard to combat. Even if the tops are damaged and removed, the weed can regenerate from the root, making it a tough battle for the average homeowner.
