Well, if it's a weed plant one would think you wouldn't want it to live. And seeing how you posted this in "Garden Pests" I would assume you don't want it. In that case, I would recommend not watering it all at, seeing how if you do, it would live longer.

No, kudzu [Pueraria lobata] isn't the same as arrowroot [Maranta arundinacea]. Kudzu is in the same family [Fabaceae] as beans and peas. Arrowroot is in the family of the obedience plants [Marantaceae]. Kudzu's benefits are countered by its aggressive competition for space, and consequently devastating impact on the environment. Arrowroot has no such reputation.

Euphorbia species are one type of weed that will do this. You may also be referring to jimson weed. This weed contains the active ingredient atropine, a muscarinic antagonist. In high doses, atropine will cause hot, dry skin, urine retention, dry mouth, increased heart rate, capillary dilation (and therefore flushing of the skin), and blurry vision in humans. If cattle did eat it, there is a good chance that they could lose their vision as well.

A moss killer to eliminate subsequent dispersal and growing of spores and a rake are ways to rid the lawn of moss even though they may be temporary remedies that need to be repeated if the soil is compacted, poorly drained and shady and therefore moss-prone.

You can, but you might want to check with a garden store before you do because you can cause problems by mixing certain chemicals. They might have something already made for that purpose. "Agent Orange" was basically just a mix of two kinds of weed and woody plant killers.

It is possible. Bird flu can be caught from the feces, saliva, and nasal secretions of a diseased bird. If a bird with bird flu has defecated on the sprouted weeds, then it can be transmitted to you. The odds are slim though. Just do not touch any bird droppings with your bare hands and wash hands afterward.

Birds get this virus through direct contact with other birds or through contact with dirt, cages, water that other birds have drunk from, the birdbath, or from feed or feeders where they can have left saliva or other secretions that contain the virus. Bird flu is still very rare among humans, so, as mentioned above the odds are low. Still, consider wearing garden gloves for working with or around areas where birds spend time, and washing the gloves and your hands well immediately afterward.

A compost bin, heap, pile or pit and an incinerator are respective places where grass clippings and weeds can be disposed. Grass clippings can be left in place as a natural fertilizer recycling nutrients back into lawns or removed to the cultivator's own compost container or corner or the neighborhood center (if there is a block-wide effort at recycling kitchen scraps and lawn litter). The individual who burns weeds must be in compliance with local fire regulations and in contact with dispatch and the person who composts needs to sort diseased, germinating debris and weeds into heavy plastic bags for the fire pile or the landfill.

Hot water is a weedkiller that can be used without harming the outside of a pool. Removal by gloved hand or by hoe or trowel function the best for weeds that are in physical contact with the pool sides. Clearing the ground of cover, placing black plastic sheeting over the bare soil, and weighting the solarization-serving sheeting down with garden or patio-style stones for walking on will keep weeds from establishing or returning.
