unfortunately for me the bind-weed and dandelions take over very quickly.

You can fight back against the dandelions by eating them.

Eat them to absorb their powers.

I love dandelions!

I don't know what bind weed is, but I like dandelions okay. You kind of have to, you're never going to win against them.

Just tell yourself bees like them.

if there is something more insidious and prolific than dandelions, its bind-weed. its a crawling, climbing vine with spade leaves and little purpleish flowers. climbs everywhere and chokes the shit out of everything it covers. the root system goes deep and wide. very hard to get rid of once it takes hold.
