Question:
Hello im doing a school science project for my yr10 certificate, and i wanted to know where to find weed seeds, i read in a book that u can find them in the soil under dead weeds. I tried looking for some but couldnt find any.


Replies:
Guess it would depend upon the species (kind) of weed. Some seeds that are carried by the wind could be far removed from the parent plant.
