Weeding is the process of removing unwanted plants, known as weeds, from a garden or landscape. Weeds compete with desirable plants for resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients, which can hinder their growth. Effective weeding helps maintain the health and appearance of gardens, lawns, and agricultural fields. There are various methods for weeding, including manual removal, hoeing, and using herbicides. Manual weeding involves pulling weeds by hand, while hoeing uses a tool to cut weeds at the soil level. Herbicides are chemical solutions that target and kill weeds but should be used carefully to avoid harming desired plants.
