Say you've spent the better part of your Saturday pulling weeds out by the root, mostly Dandylions (not yet gone to seed) and Thistles, and you've left them laying on the lawn before you can be bothered picking them all up to put them in the yard waste bin.
Then while you're not looking, someone fires up the muching lawnmower, and mows the lawn, weeds and all.
Here's the question: The weeds were pulled out, root and all, left in the sun 1/2 day to wilt a little, then obliterated into a fine shred by the mulching mower. Are the weeds gone, or did mowing them just do a better job seeding a crop of new weeds than the wind ever could?
Just curious. Someone's fate hangs in your answer.
P.S. Yes, I'm mow-man.
