 Weeds, Guardians of the Soil - chapter 8
The grass will fight its way back if the carabao and cattle and horses are kept off, but usually only after the weeds have transformed the soil.
In a good pasture or lush meadow there is an abundance of sod, and the grass maintains this sod condition as long as normal growth is not interfered with; or as long as the soil, for any reason, does not compact around the grass roots.
Grass has the power to rout the weeds when conditions are right for the return of the grass.
