Why is it your enemy? It is one of the most beneficial weeds!

Because it takes over my entire backyard chocking out anything in its path. It even grows in the driest hardest dirt in my yard with no problem. Its pretty much the reason im growing through plastic mulch.

You ever see the vid I posted before on living mulches? That's a perfect living mulch. Great scavenger of nutrients, especially nitrogen, which makes it great green manure as well! It makes high quality compost for this reason too! Also fantastic habitat for beneficials.

I would try paper covered in it as mulch and try and see how much of this beneficial weed you can produce! A bumper crop! woo hoo!

No i missed that video. I might just have to try to use it for good instead of evil.

I have a cheese bush growing by the garden gate. It's neat enough and it's actually been dieing as of late. which to me is weird. I also get a lot of pig weed in the garden. and that purslane weed.

Wow, I never knew what this weed was called. I have it the little mallow cheeseweed and it is tenacious, but I googled "cheeseweed" and that was not what you were referring to...ummmm, I thought you were planning on smoking your weed eventually.
