One of the most common mistakes in a vegetable garden, especially if it is organic, is to dig too much and remove the so-called weeds.
Weeds are not bad, quite the opposite, but they can be harmful if they compete with our vegetables.

In any case, we should never remove weeds from the edges of the garden, we can even plant some that are more useful to us. We must understand that unwanted weeds can serve as a refuge for beneficial fauna. They will also be a place where pests arrive first and serve as a warning.
If we do not have weeds, pests have no choice but to attack our vegetables.
If the weeds are creeping and your tall crops such as beans or tomatoes do not remove them, they will help maintain humidity. The ideal is to put down mulch, but if you cannot, they will not compete with your vegetables.
Some weeds that appear in our borders, such as nettles, are the best fertilizer and insecticide we could wish for. So they can be very useful to us in improving production.
