Weeds in the garden are a constant problem for home gardeners
Weed killing becomes unavoidable when weeds in the garden rival crops in the search for nutrients, room to develop, and daylight. In great quantity, garden weeds can affect the quality of the soil and the yield of fruits and vegetables. As some common garden weeds grow very tall, they can also shade plants and prevent air from circulating properly.
Too much shade in the garden may lead to increased humidity, as it becomes difficult for the moisture to evaporate from the plants’ leaves. Stagnant water on soil may also encourage moss development and increase the probability of the spread of disease.

Types of weeds in the garden
Weeds in the garden can be annual weeds or perennial weeds. Annual weeds sprout from seeds, then develop, flower and produce a large number of new seeds before dying at the end of the year. Most Australian garden weeds are annuals. On the other hand, perennial weeds live longer than annual weeds. They are capable of sprouting from a root or other part of the plant that is left in the ground, so they can rapidly infest gardens. It is important to remove weeds by weeding a garden regularly. Otherwise, weeds in the garden can do serious harm to other plants.
