I need to do some weeding, i ll regale you with tales 9f each and every weed i pull up just like wizer would

 

[Fredricka]

And every worm i meet too

 

[MANCID RILKO]

Make sure you really elaborate on the root system, fred

 

[wizer]

get the tap root whenever possible

 

[wizer]

tug slowly, gently, firmly. Use on of those forked tools if necessary to get under it. Otherwise you're just going to rip off the top and you'll piss it off

 

[wizer]

next week there will be 3 where there was 1 weed before

" tug slowly, gently, firmly"

 

[MANCID RILKO]

There's a type of tree around here, full of thorns, a real pain in the ass, it behaves as a tree, a weed and a vine at the same time

 

[MANCID RILKO]

You cut it, it sprouts again and all the roots start sprouting too

 

[wizer]

how about those prickly weeds, with the softish stems, they seem innocent enough but when you grab them barehanded they stink like a mother fucker

 

[wizer]

you can't cut this stuff Rancid

 

[wizer]

gotta get the root or it's pointless

 

[wizer]

or better yet if the weeds aren't mixed with desirables, then spray it with weedkiller

 

[wizer]

but weedkiller doesn't work on vinelike weeds that lack broad leaves

 

[MANCID RILKO]

The roots are all over the place, it grows in areas with rocks underneath

 

[wizer]

but usually vinelike weeds can be pulled from the ground along with a good amount of root

 

[wizer]

yeah you gotta just grab what you can sometimes you can get several feet of root

 

[MANCID RILKO]

This one you have to keep cutting the shoots wherever you find them

 

[wizer]

you'll never win the war but you can win enough small battles to keep it in check

 

[wizer]

ok well then maybe you can't pull it by the roots then

 

[MANCID RILKO]

And split the roots with a machete when they're closer to the surface

 

[wizer]

in which case you're sort of screwed

 

[wizer]

groundcover is your friend

 

[wizer]

if the root breaks the surface and doesn't find any light it doesn't get far

 

[MANCID RILKO]

The roots are very thick

 

[MANCID RILKO]

the secret is keep cutting the shoots from the main trunk, eventually it'll die

 

[wizer]

that sounds like a royal pain in the ass

 

[wizer]

gotta be patient I guess

 

[MANCID RILKO]

It is

 

[wizer]

the weeds here are much easier to pull out unless the ground is dry and caked in which case they just break off
