Weeds, watch this: DON’T make this big mistake if you find it | It grows in every garden

By liliaturcin5

Anyone who wants to have a consistently beautiful and well-kept garden must remember that weeds grow inexorably and continuously. Some of them are weedy and invasive, for this reason it is good to proceed in a certain way.Beautiful, fragrant, tidy gardens  that are overrun with all kinds of weeds. Even if you don’t have a developed green thumb, it becomes imperative to recognize a certain type of weed and remove it completely in the right way.  Let’s find out how?

Gardens, because weeds grow and multiply

It’s wonderful  to have a garden  that beautifies the house, big or small. A little corner of paradise full of different colors and scents, where you can relax or sunbathe.

There is no shortage of weeds which ruin these green surfaces in vain and completely, affecting the flowers and making the  garden unlivable  . We often find ourselves faced with milk thistle or laurel up to dandelion: even if they have colorful flowers, it would be good to control their growth and eliminate them immediately.

Weeds in gardens: what to do with this invasive species

As mentioned, there are different types of  weeds, from the most invasive  to the most dangerous. Purslane is a plant that grows spontaneously in gardens and vegetable gardens, offering many healthy properties for the human body.

 Not everyone knows that the leaves of this plant provide a good supply of Omega 3, essential for fighting inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases  . In addition, they improve blood circulation and reduce bad cholesterol levels. So don’t you dare tear them off!

To give a practical example,  100 grams of purslane leaves  – oleracea variety – contain 350mg of Omega3 fatty acids despite all other sources of plant origin. The sativa type is very easy to grow and can often be found in some gardens.

Without forgetting its richness in  Vitamin A – B -CE  as well as beta-carotene.

We assess the situation? Not all weeds are harmful to the garden, in fact purslane is excellent as it is edible and has been known for centuries for its healing qualities. In ancient Egypt they made extensive use of this plant, later passing the tradition on to Arab cultures who taught its use throughout the Mediterranean.

 Traditional medicine  has always taken it into consideration to counter the itching of insect bites as well as to treat intestinal disorders. It is eaten raw or cooked in addition to salads and soups, remembering that it has the same effect as chemical herbicides on the soil (when it grows it pollutes the garden).

Before consuming it, always seek  advice from your doctor  .
