What Are The Most Common Garden Weeds?

 

Common garden weeds are an ever-present problem for any gardener and pose serious health threats to your garden. While some people may try to grow their own herbs or flowers, this is not a good option if you want to grow healthy vegetables that taste good. Weeds are everywhere, but the most common garden weeds are actually pretty easy to eradicate.

Dandelion. Dandelions can be a real nightmare for any garden gardener, no matter where you live. Dandelions look gorgeous when young and are highly nutritious, but they can quickly overtake your garden by competing with the natural nutrients for your garden plants. Dandelions also spread very quickly and can literally cover an entire backyard in just a week. If your soil is particularly rocky, then dandelion roots will likely be able to penetrate the soil. As long as there is a little sunlight, you should have no problems dealing with dandelions.

Onion. Onion plants are also one of the more popular garden weeds, and they are an excellent reason why you shouldn't be growing any onions in your garden. In fact, onions can actually hurt your garden's plants. As well as causing them to look funny, onions have the potential to cause some pretty major damage to your garden plants. Some onion plants, such as the Chinese and Japanese, will actually cut their own leaves, and these onions are often considered the most harmful of all onions.

Blackberries. You may think blackberries are beautiful but they are actually one of the worst plants to have growing in your garden because blackberries tend to have a nasty habit of sucking out nutrients from your soil. If your soil is especially nutrient poor, then blackberries can actually harm the growth of your plants in as little as a month.

Daffodils. Daffodils can be beautiful flowers that are very attractive, but they are also considered by many to be the most annoying of garden weeds. The truth is, even though they are beautiful and delicious, daffodils will destroy your garden if they are allowed to overpopulate.

These are just some of the most Common garden weeds, and they all share one thing in common: they are very difficult to completely eradicate. In order to completely eliminate most of the garden weeds, you need a combination of different techniques. One way to effectively get rid of most of the weeds is to use a mixture of fertilizers, watering, pruning and other methods to make your garden more productive.
