Weeding is a very imporant thing in our environment and if we did not weed the plants at our school we would be over run by weeds. take for example this chart, it is a very good example of the weeds that over run our gardens.

media type="custom" key="3918517" a trick to weeding is to always pull the roots as well as the plant on top, because its whats underneath that does the damage not the top of the plant. also if you pull a weed out that has spikes use gloves so that they dont spike you. also dispose of the weed properly so they ddont come back. also check out this diagram to see the features of an average plant.

also here is how to plant a tree.

1. Dig the hole as deep as the roots on the tree and twice as wide. 2. Check to see if the soil around the hole is too hard - if it is, loosen it up a bit with the shovel.  3. Remove the container from the roots. (The roots are like the tree's blood vessels and they work best if they are not all twisted and knotted up, so you might need to straighten them out if they are circling around after having grown in the container.)  4. Place the tree in the hole, making sure the soil is at the same level on the tree as when the tree grew in the garden center. Place the tree in the. Fill in around the roots with soil and pack the soil with your hands and feet to make sure that there are no air pockets.  5. Make a little dam around the base of the tree as wide as the hole with left over soil or grass clumps to hold in the water. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;">6. <span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Give your new tree a good soaking of water to help settle it into its new home. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;">7. <span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Name your tree, lik<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> e Tara and her friends named the first tree they planted "Marcie the Marvelous Tree." <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">media type="custom" key="3918177" width="253" height="300" <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">
