[QUOTE="Banjo, post: 1439779, member: 17304"] I wonder if there are any studies done that show the nutrient content of weeds? I would say each weed species probably has its own unique nutrient profile that would vary from plant to plant. Shredding all that down periodically would have to help the soil profile. I don't worry too much about weeds....i.e. ragweed, chicory, mostly growing now...as long as there is lots of grass to go with it. I think it adds a lot of organic matter to the soil. Clipping it keeps it in check. But if your in a continuous grazing system where grass is kept short then your gonna have weeds abundant. [/QUOTE]
