Weeds grow, well, like weeds, out of the cracks of the pavement with nothing but municipal runoff to keep them alive. Meanwhile I have to work tirelessly to keep my tomato and pepper plants happy and fruitful. Why do weeds dominate a garden?

Weeds are the plants that have adapted to grow over all other plants in your area. They tend to germinate quickly, outcompete other plants, survive in the soil type, with the water levels, and with all other conditions of your environment better than all other plants in that area. They are not picky. They are essentially the billions happy to be served by fast food places. Desirable plants are ones that almost always come from different soil types, climates, and conditions from where you want to grow them. They have been bred to produce fruit or flowers or vegetables, and as a result have high nutritional needs that few soils provide. They are particular about their water, soil and sun requirements and force your to accommodate them, rather than being happy with what occurs naturally. They are essentially high maintenance customers that can’t be bothered to deal with the anything less than ideal conditions for their growth.
