Weeds are any plants that grow where they are unwanted. Common weeds are fast growing, resilient nuisances that compete with your cultivated plants for nutrients, water, and sunlight. They can be fire hazards. They serve as hosts for pests and diseases. Removal is time consuming and can be costly. The key to successful weed control is to prevent them from becoming well established.
