Weeds still on offer

An essential go-to reference for any organic – or would-be organic – gardener.

The excellent new edition of John Walker’s Weeds: An Organic, Earth-Friendly Guide to their Identification, Use and Control, which was featured in the January issue (read an extract on pages 54–56), is still available to KG readers at the special price of £14 plus £3 P&P. An essential go-to reference for any organic – or would-be organic – gardener, it overturns the mindset that views weeds as, by definition, the opposition. Read this book, get to know your weeds, learn to welcome some as green manures, composting fodder, a resource for wildlife, or an addition to the salad bowl – and then find out how – and, crucially, when – to control the ones you really don’t want to share your garden with.
