I agree, I have a different perspective on "weeds" than most. Watching how my neglect of the garden (unintentional) over the last few years has actually helped the soil...it's really interesting. OK, so we end up with a forest of weeds 4 feet tall...but all of them except Canada Thistle are edible if I should choose. The only things I want RID OF are that thistle and the brome grass (that stuff is tough, it will take over anywhere it gets into even if that spot or area has a thriving and varied plant base already).

we have lived in our house for a decade and have never once raked up leaves.

we must have the most amazing topsoil at this point.
