reposting a comment from Marian S. on my Substack. We will start talking about flower gardens in the next few weeks so I thought this could be helpful to get us started: "I’m always afraid to plant these decorative and even native grasses in my gardens because grasses overall have been the worst weeds in my organic gardens in a variety of locations around the country in 40 + years of gardening. (Even worse than bindweed!) Descriptions never seem to address this issue. How do others deal with this?"

@Marta Grosskopf yes! And that is a great option to avoid sending all to the landfill if you aren’t composting at home.
