Weeds can easily grow, while the kentucky blue grass or any grass seeds can be very difficult to maintain, and need fertilizers et al. every year. Why?

The term “weed” only means unwanted plants. In reality, the plants that compete the best will be the plants that grow. Many “weeds” are hardy, resistant, and fast growing so they outcompete the “wanted” plants. The entire concept of a trimmed grass lawn is actually European and many of the grasses (and trees) found in yards are actually non native, European species. Sometimes non native species do really well and can become invasive, others require extra care and maintenance just to survive. There are a lot of factors on plant growth- climate, soil, water, sun, available space, available nutrients.
