weed question

super_tort9000 · 21-04-2007, 03:55 PM

if i put down a load of seeds would they spread from the pen to the rest of the lawn? because my dads a gardner so i doubt he would like it much if the garden got over run with weeds but id like more for eric to find while roaming around and picked weeds dry up too quickly

The best way for weeds to spread in your garden is to grow them in pots (or some of them) and
then let them go to seed. It has taken me a few years, but now in the Spring I have plenty of weeds
for my tortoises. I also have a couple of smaller enclosures that are also now still full of weeds.
The ones around the garden are getting sparce, but I know the tortoises have had a good start
to the year.
