"Your book, Working With Weeds, has truly changed everything for me in the garden. Forever grateful" Jacky Imagine not having to weed a garden? Ahhh, time for the more fun tasks. No weeds and no poison? Easy! Throw away the herbicides and instead learn to read the weeds. What are they telling you about gaps in the garden? Do you need more mulch or better soil care? Are you mowing the lawn too short? Weed management is not hard when you know your weeds. Weeds present an opportunity to learn about our soil, our garden and our environment, if only we will listen. They provide important soil care, critical insect habitat and even delicious and nutritious free food - yes there are plenty of weeds you can eat. Kate is one of Australia’s leading weed experts. Why? Because by helping us to understand our weeds, Kate is helping us to become better gardeners. A weed free garden does not need poison, it needs a new approach, and Working With Weeds presents us with lots of options for the best new approach to create our own garden without weeds. Working With Weeds includes a suite of organic weed control methods and when to use each, understanding of why we have weeds and how to "read the weeds", ways to put weeds to use, various ways of composting weeds, over 40 weeds profiled, edible weeds and recipes included. “How to learn to enjoy gardening again.
