For gardeners and horticulturists, some plants are a real horror, capable of destroying everything around them.
At the same time, the “green killers” are growing very quickly, displacing other crops.
What kind of plant “predators” are these, was explained by the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Among them is mint. Of course, the aromatic plant is well suited as an additive to food and drink.
But if you plant it in open ground, it immediately begins to occupy the territory.
The aggressive roots of mint crowd out its neighbors. Eventually, only it remains.
Another excellent representative of flora for the kitchen is horseradish. But it grows so much on the plot that it is almost impossible to remove it.
The fact is that its roots penetrate deep into the soil, and small shoots “give birth” to new plants.

However, the plant has a tendency to grow quickly, making it very difficult to remove.
Sow thistle is an aggressive invasive weed that takes over garden beds and sucks out all the nutrients from the soil.
As you might guess, this behavior leads to problems with the growth of cultivated plants.
And since the seeds of sow thistle fly far away, removing it seems to be an extremely difficult task.
Even raspberries can become a threat to your plot.
The problem here is that the roots spread very actively throughout the area, creating new bushes in different places.
