    Herbs.
    The chicken weed grows among potatoes,it is not very harmful as it has only a small root.It is sometimes put on dry for taking down a swelling.
    The nettle is a harmful weed on the farm as it grows very rapidly especially on dry land.Tea is made out of nettles for the measles.
    The dock is the most harmful of all the weeds as it spreads and has a very large root.It is used for taking out the sting of the nettle.
