My dear, you are preaching to the choir! We eat dandelions too, but even if you eat them, they WILL take over everything else and I'd hate to miss out on all the other things we've planted because dandelions get out of control. Trust me, there are plenty left. NO ONE could eat all the dandelions on our property.

Even edible plants can be a problem.

I'm sure you've got Kudzu growing somewhere near you, right? Even though it's edible and nutritious, it's out of control all over the south. Some of it must be killed or it will take over everything!

Where I live, blackberries are an invasive species and must be held back or they destroy trees, other growing things and sometimes even barns and sheds! Yep, delicious blackberries can be destructive. Thankfully, our goats LOVE blackberry brambles so we don't have to resort to noxious chemicals.

Oh, and we don't kill grass at our place - we use it to feed our goats and chickens. Grass is a wonderous commodity when it's not confined to suburban lawns, so please...don't kill grass.
