- My grand-father told me that the most harmful weeds growing in our farm are - dock-leaves, chicken-weed, wagswort and many others.
All those weeds are very harmful for crops, especially the chicken-weed, it spoils all potato crops.
There are also some herbs that are very good for healing and curing all kinds of cuts and bruises such as, the dandelion, garlic, St Patricks leaf, etc. The dandelion is good for curing rheumatism.
