Can weeds grow on rocks

Answer 1

Yes, weeds can grow on rocks. Weeds may be defined as those plants whose benefit to humans is forgotten or unknown. They tend to be recognized by their ability to grow well where cultivated and ornamental plants may do poorly. But in the specific case of rocks, there are native and 'alpine' plants that handle rocky environments just as well as weeds do.

Answer 2

N-o-v-a-N-e-t-----> Both A and C Lichen must break down rock with acid and form a simple soil AND mosses must add organic material to the soil.

Weeds adapt to a wide variety of environments. So they have no problems growing on rocks. All they need do is find an anchor, in the tiniest showing of soil, or even just the slightest crevice, between rocks. From that precarious position, they quickly establish themselves, or re-establish themselves elsewhere if forced to move.

Answer 3

Bulldozing, grazing, mulching, planting, removing, repaving, salting, solarizing, spraying and trimming are ways to keep weeds from growing up between rocks. The landscape may need to be re-started from scratch if the area is small and the rocks are few and light. Otherwise, grazers (cows, goats, horses, sheep) -- if permissible -- will keep the area trimmed whereas weeds will not grow where mulch, plants and sheeting fill the in-between spaces and where rigorous manual and mechanical removal, mowing, pruning, spraying, trimming and weed-eating schedules are adhered to.

Answer 4

lichen must break down the rock with acid and form a simple soil;mosses must add organic material to the soil(both answers are correct)
