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?

The weeds that are easy to kill never started growing in your garden. The plants that you want to grow didn’t start growing there naturally. So you have one set of plants (weeds that are growing) that have selected to grow specifically there, in that soil, in that climate, and another set of plants (plants you want to grow) that wouldn’t be there if you hadn’t specifically gone out of your way to put them where they weren’t already growing.
If you want a garden that’s easy to grow, using the native plants that are already in the immediate area helps.
