I checked
the exact phrase, and it appears to be a
viral-style gardening headline rather than a universal gardening rule.
One recent version specifically identifies the plant as goosegrass (Eleusine indica) and claims medicinal and soil benefits
, while another version uses purslane instead. ab-blog.looksmarttrends.com+1
So without the plant photo, don’t assume the claim applies to every plant that appears in your garden. Some weeds can spread aggressively or compete with crops; for example, university gardening guidance lists dandelion and broadleaf plantain among perennial weeds. extension.wsu.edu
If you send me the picture of the plant, I can identify it and tell you:
- whether you should keep or remove it,
- whether it is edible,
- its evidence-based benefits,
- and whether the viral health claims about it are true.
