Topic: What weed could you put up with?

[Biscombe]

Nettles, same as comfrey you can make your own plant feed from this

Was it there when you moved in Digeroo or has it come up as a weed? I presume it tastes good as well...

I tolerate a bramble in my garden at home.  It produces huge amounts of fruit.  Each truss has up to 80 fruits.  But it is a monster and keeping it under control is not easy.

I ask as it sounds very like "Fantasia" which was an accidental cross of a Himalayan Giant... found growing on an allotment in London and is now a good, if very vigerous, commercial variety...  :-\

I also can't think of poppy as a weed. But what I can put up would be a nettle patch and clover on the paths, cos the bees just love them.

unfortunatly im stuck with maestail!!! :-\

Well - free pan-scourer!

According to one website, it makes a good foliar feed....

My plot is full of what others consider to be weeds. There's clover on the paths, creeping buttercups round one of the ponds, dandelions and poppies.
It's all there because I like it and it's beneficial for the wildlife.

When I started this i hadn't even thought of the clover and the poppies at my allotment as being weeds!

At home i seeded my lawn both front and back with white clover and it's the only thing still growing as lawn currently the grass having succumbed to the lack of rain. I only put it in my front lawn when I noticed my neighbour had seeded his with the expensive lawnseed with microclover because I thought the clover was bound to annoy him. Turns out he didn't read the packet and had no idea he'd seeded his lawn with clover because the next year he was out trying to kill it...and sprayed part of my lawn to when he thought I wasn't looking.
The funny thing is he spends a lot of time treating his lawn with weed killers etc but he has the weedy lawn if you exclude my clover which doesn't count because I put it there.

Don't you just love poetic (or in this case gardening) justice

Borage. It just pops up everywhere on my plot, so much that I use it as a green manure! ;D
