Did you know that weeds actually grow faster than other plants? An irritating fact of nature, to be sure, but weeds do indeed grow faster than regular plants. It's nature's way of repairing disturbed areas of soil. Theoretically this is to repair the forest after a big storm or bushfire. But the practicality is that general, everyday gardening is perceived to be a disturbance, so how does your garden repay you? By growing more weeds!
This kind of round-and-round-the-mulberry-bush chasing of the perpetual weed cycle is enough to do your head in. After all, how do you combat an enemy who responds to their destruction by instantly re-birthing (it's a little bit zombie-ish when you think of it that way)?
Weed control is a matter of urgency; if you don't stay on top of weeds then they will literally take over your garden. All of you hard cultivating efforts can be destroyed if you don't have weed control measures in place. When tackling weed maintenance in Melbourne, you'll most likely confront the following culprits:
English IvyA proud specimen of Mother England, but in Australia it is a noxious weed, responsible for rotting out fences, destroying red brick homes and spreading like the plague.
Spear ThistleSpringing up seemingly overnight, spear thistles are big, ugly and spread out in every direction. A single thistle, left alone, will soon produce a field of thistles.
FennelBrought into the limelight by celebrity chefs (thanks Jamie Oliver), fennel was embraced by foodies across Melbourne, who eagerly planted them in their gardens and have been battling to control their growth and spread ever since.
Blackberry BushThe fruit may be a delight to children across Melbourne, but have you ever tried to curtail the growth of a blackberry bush? No doubt it is a painful memory, as their thorns attack from all sides.
