[QUOTE="J-CCCC, post: 149545, member: 1540"] Dusty, It makes sense that any plant with all that leafy surface would soak up and release a lot of water into the air. I've also heard that weeds consume up to 30 percent more soil nutrients than grass (don't know how that measure was taken). May be one of those, "TRUST ME" statements! Any way. Given that a lot of water moves thru a leafy weed then it makes sense that the nutrients are sucked up and consumed in growing the weed. IF that is the case, I say fertilize that grass and squeeze out the weeds. Don't let the weeds get ahead of the grass. If the weeds get ahead cut them before they seed. In my experience fertilized hay meadows zeldom support a large weed population! I know :oops: Preachin' to the choir again! Jay [/QUOTE]
