2, If the area is not weeded, pests will attack your seedlings
and cause damage to them.
The fewer the weeds the Tess chances for snakes, insects and
diseases to attack the seedlings.
Here are some of the weeding advantages:

water from the soil
Trees become stronger and raller in a short a time.
Trees ger enough sunlight.
Trees are free from diseases.
Trees are protected fram wild fire.
