Culinary water has no seeds

In response to Earl V. Elmont's letter about weed seeds in culinary water (Readers' Forum, July 30), I respectfully suggest that Elmont's friend is a couple kernels short of a full ear of corn on this subject.

Weed seeds — like all seeds — are lumpy. Culinary water has no lumps.

There are about a gazillion, billion weed seeds being spread on the wind, by birds and dropped by last year's weeds.

Weeds show up on the edge of the lawn because the string trimmer has cut the grass so short there, weeds are able to compete with the grass. Refer to Larry Sager's Web site for info about how to control those pesky "edge of lawn" weeds.
