    Scutch grass is the most harmful weed on out farm. It is harmful because it spreads rapidly and makes the soil poor. The names of the weeds that grow on good ground are, "thistles". The names of the herbs that grow on good ground are "nettles" "docking" and "crowfoot". The barbary weed cures the yellow jaundice. The way the herb is used is first you would cut it up and then boil it. When it is boiled it would look like milk. Then you drink it. The herb is grown on Mr. Martin Brennan's farm of Knockmajor Coolcullen.
