When my wife weeds the garden the chickens all gather aroung outside the fence, they love those young weed that are sprouting, plus their egg production seem to go up.

With chickens, at least you have company while weeding. You have someone to talk to, so it's not lonely. They eat the bugs as you dig them up. And.... you have great entertainment watching them fight for the bugs and frogs, etc.! Chickens do make weeding more fun and interesting. It looks like I'm gonna have lots of opportunity to be entertained in the next few days! :tools

I like to weed. Especially the lawn. I can't help myself, but when I'm outside playing with the kids I inevitably start pulling weeds and can't seem to stop. My favorite time to weed is after a good soaking rain since it can be done without tools.

I know what you mean, I will be all dressed to go somewhere and then I will wander our to the yard to talk to the kids or to check on my hens............then I see a weed.
The next thing you know I am weeding a whole area and trying to not get dirty because I have to go out.
I can't stop until the whole section is done.

I'd like to schedule you all some weeding time in MY garden please...

Ha, I'm with whatnow and simple life -- I like weeding. Time permitting anyhow. Honest! It is simple, it is interesting (you learn about plants and see things you wouldn't normally notice, and get to fondle pleasantly furry or nice-smelling leaves), and the results are obvious and of practical benefit. Plus you can choose whether to pay attention to the weeding or to daydream about other things.

I also like repainting rooms in the house and cleaning horse stalls

Now if anyone wants to come over here and dust or vacuum for me, ugh, I will happily go out and weed


Pat, back from Penna., and since it's rained more or less every day since I left, I have *lots* of weeds awaiting

Dust? Vacuum? As the sign on my kitchen wall says, Dull Women have Clean Houses Not that mine's a mess, I actually work hard and pay someone to come in every other week to dust and vacuum. Call me spoiled, but I really hate doing either.

 

[simple life]

I don't know about everyone else, but my entire family will leave me alone when I am weeding. They won't come out to ask me for stuff because they are afraid I will ask them to help. I have actually heard or seen someone start walking up to me and then see that I am weeding and turn tail back into the house.
I am guaranteed alone time, quiet time whenever I weed.
For that reason alone I would enjoy weeding.

As to not use any herbicides, being on well water, I have to hand pull my lawn weeds. It is actually a peaceful time, and you are alone with your thoughts for awhile.

I can see the benefits of it. The lawn looks better, the chickens get something to pick at, and I get some peace and quiet..

Now weeding the veggie garden can get to be a bit of a chore. ...can't wait to turn the chickens loose this fall.
