New Poll! What is your worst weed?

[snohare]

I'd have voted for couch grass, but it wasn't on the list...
Since I'm still in therapy for a time when once I looked after a garden infested with bindweed burrowed into wall foundations, the alternative was a no-brainer !

[hailtryfan]

Another vote for couch grass!!

[Jardiniere]

The worst weeds on my land are false acacia trees...but they werent on the list.

Couch grass is the worst for me but it isn't on the list Next worst is creeping buttercup - when I took over my plot I dug so much of it up I was dreaming about it It always seems to manage to make a come back so I have to be very vigilant and dig it up as soon as I notice it. Hate it!

You have to wonder what sort of gardens the GYO Office folk have if they list chickweed on their list of worst weeds and ignore couch grass, dandelions, dock and Japanese Knotweed.

Weed free gardens I'm guessing .

[VirginVegGrower]

Or no gardens and I'll have a balcony please! Get couch grass up there somebody - come on, it looks like your number one PITA weed!

[veggiechicken]

Know what you mean....

I have all of those listed, but the brambles are far the worst to deal with. Not only are they an absolute pain to dig up, but they put so much growth on in a short space of time, and regenerate from a tiny piece of root and keep popping up long after it's grown a massive root system again. Even the berries aren't enough to make up for what a pain they are. They've ripped a couple of trousers of mine since I got my allotment a year ago, and they are relentless

I have dug over the whole of my 10 rod plot, removing 45 bin bags of nettle roots. But yesterday I found a bindweed shoot emerging from underneath the paving stone at the entrance of the greenhouse.... THIS MEANS WAR!!

Groundsel - flowering and seeding before it is barely out of the ground. It is not the friend of the weekend gardener.

[bojangles]

Bindweed and cough grass and docks. I had loads of them and many more on my plot when I took it on. I've been fighting with the dock roots but its the bindweed and cough grass are my worst!!!

[Leeds_lad]

Definitely bindweed. The stuff takes over like 1/2 of one of my beds. In some areas it's not actually too bad, I actually love the flowers it throws out. In other places, not so much.

The problem is it spills over from an unused garden to the rear of mine, so no amount of control will really get rid of it!

[Florence Fennel]

Common Mouse-ear chickweed I'm afraid. I've read about it's usefulness, but when it comes up all the time between my dwarf peas and spring onions I hate it and amongst the emerging carrot seedlings it's an absolute pain. I also have a problem with grass springing up all over the place, although I do find it very therapeutic easing out the grass roots!

Ivy and goose grass.....grrrrrrr double grrrrrrr
