How can plants that choke out weeds be effectively used in gardening and landscaping to promote healthy growth and suppress weed growth?

Plants that choke out weeds, known as ground cover plants, can be used in gardening and landscaping to promote healthy growth and suppress weed growth by creating a dense mat that shades out weeds, competes for nutrients and water, and prevents weed seeds from germinating. This helps to maintain a clean and healthy garden or landscape without the need for chemical weed control methods.
