Grow Weeds on Your Island

Weeds can be gathered up all over the island, especially in the very beginning. After you have picked them all, they will very slow to come back to your island but will eventually grow back over time.

You can also grow weeds by planting them in a spot, and they will grow and multiply naturally. Watering them also speeds up the process.

If Weeds Have Overgrown, Pull Them Out

If there are too many weeds on the island, it will be difficult for new ones to grow. Pull out unwanted weeds so new ones can grow.
