Different Types of Weed Highs The ‘high‘ that a person experiences after consuming weed, or extracts of weed, varies from person to person and from situation to situation. But broadly, they can be classified into the following categories.
Crabgrass:
Crabgrass is the most common type of weed in lawns and it’s nearly impossible to completely control this weed. Crabgrass is a warm season annual grass which grows best in the heat of midsummer when desirable lawn grasses are often semi-dormant and offer little or no competition. Crabgrass over winters as seed, comes up about mid-May or later, and is killed by the first hard frost in fall.
Bentgrass:
Bentgrass is a cool season perennial spreading grass that is commonly used for golf course greens, tees, and fairways. For the lawn owner, bentgrass is often considered a weed.
Dandelions:
Most people are familiar with dandelions. They are a broad leaf weed that begins with bright yellow flowers that eventually change into a globe of fine filaments which are seeds that are distributed by the wind. Who hasn’t blown a dandelion into the air?
Ground Ivy:
This weed is a perennial with creeping stems that root at the nodes and has foliage that emits a mint-like odor when mowed. Ground ivy is primarily a weed of turf grass and landscapes
Moss:
Moss in a lawn is an indication that the turf is not growing well. Moss doesn’t grow in healthy lawns. Lack of fertility, soil compaction, poor drainage, shade and poor soil aeration are the most common cause of moss in lawns.
Mushrooms:
Mushrooms, also called toadstools or puffballs, are fruiting bodies of soil fungi. They appear in lawns during wet weather in spring and summer. Mushrooms live on organic matter such as roots, stumps and boards in the soil.
Chickweed:
Common chickweed (Stellaria media) is a matted, herbaceous, winter annual broadleaf plant. Chickweed is a prolific spring weed as it thrives under cool, wet conditions. It rarely tolerates hot, dry conditions that occur in late spring or early summer. Other common names for chickweed include starweed, winterweed, satin flower and tongue grass.
Plantain:
Broadleaf plantain is a common broadleaf weed in lawns. It is identified by oval leaf blades 2 – 6 inches long with 5 to 7 ribs that that parallel the leaf margins. In turf grass they form dense clumps
Dallis Grass:
Dallis Grass is a broadleaf weed that closely resembles crab grass. It is one of the most difficult to control weeds for lawn care. Patches will appear in clumps with leaves that extend upright. Some patches can grow quite large if left untended and can appear unsightly in an otherwise beautiful lawn.
