Default Weeds...Weeds...Weeds

Here's a link to id noxious weeds in the Pacific Northwest
http://dnr.metrokc.gov/weeds/weedpics.htm

Each state, many political subdivisions and colleges will have an ecology,
natural resource, or agriculture department that tracks the weeds that are
considered Noxious Weeds for that area. If you use google.com and do a
search for your state and the word noxious you should find some good local
resources.

If you're working on a weed problem in a lawn you'll want to look at issues
why the grass thriving well enough to out compete the weeds. Usually you can
keep the weeds at bay by getting the soil in balance.

Hello All!

Does anyone have a "pictorial" website for these dreaded of all growing
things so I can i.d. them?

Several chemical companies have "selective" herbicides to take out
things like broadleaf & dandelions yet not harm ice plant or surrounding
plant material. I want to be sure that I'm not killing a milkweed that
some butterflies use for a host plant.

All assistance will be most gratefully received!
