@papa-pepper - I used to have a garden with a weed patch of clover in the middle of it. I figured out that when the rabbits would come to eat, they would just eat the clover because they preferred the weeds over my veggies! Though, because of lack of upkeep, the potato bugs destroyed the potatoes. Hand picking a lot of potato plants is too hard, better to just grow a few potato plants if you grow them, that's what I think. A lot of other crops do just fine if you weed it.
