∙ 12y agoI don't see how you get weeds out of erosion. Erosion is the breaking down of soils by wind, water, ice, and sometimes animals digging/burrowing in the soil.

The primary problem involved with erosion, however, is when the edges of small islands (occupied by people) are eroded away, especially to the point where there is nothing left...

Does bleach kill weeds?
Yes bleach will kill weeds, but please do not use it to do this because it kills allot more than just the weeds, it will kill the organisms and bacteria in the soil and generally pollute the environment. There are proprietary weed killers that you can use (if you have to) that are slightly less harmful to the soil (e.g. glyphosate) but it is better to remove weeds by hand digging, burning or hoeing. Another very good way is to cover the weed area with an old carpet or black plastic and leave it for 2-3 months. The black plastic/carpet prevents the light reaching the weeds ad thy die off underneath without harming the environment.

Does crop production lead to depletion of natural resources?
Yes, it can cause a depletion to natural resources. Farmers use pesticides and other chemicals to stop insects, pests, weeds from competing for food with plants. These chemicals can cause great damage to the soil. They can cause soil erosion. Other than this, they also cause diseases among the organisms that eat it.

How do garden weeds help people?
Attraction of beneficial animals, control of erosion and flooding, and landscape color and texture are ways in which garden weeds help people.

Garden weeds also have above- and below-ground parts which help to keep soil aerated and together and which prevent floods by claiming their shares of available rainfall.
