How to Identify and Manage Perennial Weeds (Without the Viral Sprays) - Ep. 303

About this episode

This episode discusses the identification and management of perennial weeds, focusing on their unique growth patterns and root systems.

Perennial weeds are in a different category than annuals. They don’t just re-seed, they regrow from the ground up, season after season, from root systems that can run three feet deep or spread fifteen feet sideways underground. In this episode, we’re tackling them systematically.
