Maturation Timeline
Year 1
White space represents open ground where weeds have the opportunity to germinate. Within the first year there will be more open space while young plants are at immature size.
Year 2
Growth from desirable plants increases and reduces the space that weeds have to grow.
Year 3
The edges of plants touch each other and overlap, closing off the ground and making it difficult for weed seeds to germinate and gather sunlight.
