Summary

Weed-Free Gardening presents a clear and easy-to-implement plan of attack to get even the most tenacious weeds under control without the need for potentially harmful synthetic herbicides。
 
Let’s face it: weeding is far from a homeowner’s favorite chore。 But not everyone can afford to hire a landscape crew to keep the weeds at bay, and spraying chemical herbicides isn’t a smart solution for eco-conscious homeowners or pet parents。 If that’s the case for you, the weed control prevention and control strategies outlined here by author Tasha Greer will have you growing flowers, vegetables, shrubs, and trees with little to no weed competition。 Tasha’s organic approach hands you methods for both preventing weeds early in the growing season and managing weedy intruders year-round
 
By following the practical guidance found in Weed-Free Gardening, you’ll:

Control annual weeds by disrupting their natural lifecycle
Learn the whys, hows, and whens of weed-inhibiting mulching techniques


Eliminate deep-rooted perennial weeds by eradicating them at their source
Meet the best and most effective weeding tools available to homeowners
Discover many ways to keep weeds out of the vegetable garden while ensuring healthy and productive soil
Implement a practical plan to gain long-term control over weeds
In addition, you’ll find resources for weed identification, tips for getting rid of invasive plants, useful ideas for handling areas completely overtaken by weeds, and dozens of “weed hacks” to make life in the garden so much more beautiful。

Weed-Free Gardening is here with a plan to save you time, money, and energy, and help you fall in love with your garden all over again。 If landscape beds overrun with weeds are making you want to give up on your garden, hope is finally here!

Very interesting and useful discussion of weeds and how to prevent them using organic methods, including how they formed and how they can be valuable。

This is the time of year that I start weeding my flower gardens。 I've had some very stubborn weeds that continue to come back year after year in the same spot。 Thanks to this book, this may be my last year battling them!The way my yard is set up, it's hard to use harmful weed killers。 The last time I did that, it ran into my neighbors yard, stunting her beautiful butterfly bushes。 The past 2 years, I've been working on what I call my private park。, It's been a nightmare clearing it out。 With the This is the time of year that I start weeding my flower gardens。 I've had some very stubborn weeds that continue to come back year after year in the same spot。 Thanks to this book, this may be my last year battling them!The way my yard is set up, it's hard to use harmful weed killers。 The last time I did that, it ran into my neighbors yard, stunting her beautiful butterfly bushes。 The past 2 years, I've been working on what I call my private park。, It's been a nightmare clearing it out。 With the help of this book, I believe I can make the nightmare turn into a dream。 Garden tools, watering tools, different types of mulching, natural ways of stunting weed growth, what to plant to aid the removal of weeds。。。 all in the book。 。 。。。more

I garden on the organic principles and I find it very difficult getting on top of my weed, especially in summer where it is easy to say it is too hot to pull out weeds。This book is great it actually gives a helpful guide about garden weed。 The book is divided into chapters of Weed Prevention, Maintenance, Reconciliation and Creative Peace。 I love the concept of this type of gardening - it really is offers a more relaxing approach to weeds without being over-run by them。 Love the recycling concep I garden on the organic principles and I find it very difficult getting on top of my weed, especially in summer where it is easy to say it is too hot to pull out weeds。This book is great it actually gives a helpful guide about garden weed。 The book is divided into chapters of Weed Prevention, Maintenance, Reconciliation and Creative Peace。 I love the concept of this type of gardening - it really is offers a more relaxing approach to weeds without being over-run by them。 Love the recycling concept。 A worthwhile book 。。。more

Before I go further into this review, I want to make one thing very clear – this is a very comprehensive book。 It also assumes in some areas; you are a beginner gardener。 As many gardeners know, a good gardening book goes into the basics and then goes into the true grit of the book。 It is a smaller textbook filled with beautiful pictures and so much information that it can be a bit head spinning。That being said, it is fantastic information perfect for those of us who want to have eco-friendly, p Before I go further into this review, I want to make one thing very clear – this is a very comprehensive book。 It also assumes in some areas; you are a beginner gardener。 As many gardeners know, a good gardening book goes into the basics and then goes into the true grit of the book。 It is a smaller textbook filled with beautiful pictures and so much information that it can be a bit head spinning。That being said, it is fantastic information perfect for those of us who want to have eco-friendly, pet-safe gardens that avoid herbicides and keep weeds at bay。 It is one of those areas where not all advice is cut out for every gardener (some advice is for city dwellers, others for small farmers)。 Overall, I feel that Weed Free Gardening: A Comprehensive and Organic Approach to Weed Management is a fantastic reference book and one you will probably be referenced often to find specific sections。 。。。more

tI received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 (via Netgalley)An informative read covering a wide variety of methods for suppressing weeds in different soil types。

Victoria Bailey

I had high hopes for this, but sadly the useful and interesting bits are sandwiches between extra thick bread!There is a lot of info that isn’t really useful or interesting, and some is also patronising (There is no need to explain what words like “Prevention” means, and if I did, that’s what Google is for!)

Cynthia Moore

This book had some really great ideas about gardening that I had not known。 I will have to try them this spring when I start to get my garden ready。 I have even already discussed them with some others in my Master Gardener class! This is a great resource book。

Annarella

An interesting and informative guide to remove weed without herbicide。 I appreciated the explanations and the illustrations。Highly recommended。Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
