Hello,
my sister is very focused on organic gardening and wants to maintain this in her garden as well. However, she is having problems because the neighbors do not like that seeds from weeds, as they call them, are spreading into their gardens. What can be done to keep the peace in the neighborhood?

In cases like this, it is always difficult to mediate, because if someone values a well-maintained garden, then every dandelion from the neighbor’s yard feels like an attack on their own garden. However, a natural-style garden does not have to mean that weeds spread all over the area. Often, an organic garden is mistaken for a wilderness!!

I believe there are few topics where opinions differ as much as on this one. People who have an English-style lawn often get upset as soon as a weed appears. However, you have to accept that seeds will inevitably spread around. That’s just nature!

In a natural garden, there really is no such thing as weeds. People often assume that such a garden is not maintained, but that is not true. Instead, care is taken to ensure that only native plants grow there, providing sufficient food and shelter for our insects and birds.
