Aaargh! My lawn has weeds

The above image shows a plant many lawn owners hate. For no particular reason. If encouraged to grow it becomes a lovely texture in your lawn, supple with light. This:

Groundcovers like this actually protect the grass growing underneath from foot traffic, animal waste and urine and dogs scratching. It is actually a herb, and actually has a variety of nutritional benefits. It is a source of magnesium, calcium and zinc This cocktail is actually good for reducing anxiety and improving bone health.

I’m not suggesting you eat pennywort or plants that look similar, such as clover. However, they are easy to manage and require far less mowing. AIt adds to the biodiversity of your garden and attracts good insects, birds and is great fo rthe ecology.

Think carefully before messing with your lawn and deciding something is a weed when it is one of your backyard pals.
