    Nettles and "dockans" are great destroyers in the potatoe garden because they spread all over the garden if they are not taken out. These weeds grow in both good and bad land. Nettles are used for the cure of Measels.
    The thistle grows on good land and it is very hard to get it off the land. Another weed which is very bad is the red shank because the roots of it go all over the land.
