Gardening and landscaping gurus tell us that herbicides are our friends. But in reality, what's worse – weeds or the poisonous chemicals we spread on our yards?
We are going to propose to our condo board that they allow most of the green space to go to a wildflower meadow. I'm sure they'll want patches of grass in between the buildings but I hope they'll at least allow the drainage ditch and a swath beside it to g wild. So far they have not used pesticides but the weeds are taking over and I know we have grubs so I don't expect that to last, sadly.
I wish you the best, Yvonne. Remind the board that the native flora will attract beneficial bugs that will feed on the pests. It will take longer than pesticides, but the end results are so much better.
Weeds are just plants in the wrong place. !!!

Thanks, I'll do that.
