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.

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.
