Described by Sophie Thomson as "The book we have all been waiting for... you will feel inspired to claim victory over the weeds in your garden!"

Weed is the only book you will need to help you understand the weeds, how they multiply and how they compete, how to read them as a reflection of soil condition, and how to use this understanding to exploit their weaknesses and has suggestions on how to deal with them easily and effectively without the use of chemicals.

Like it or not, weeds are a part of every gardener's life. The temptation to blitz them with toxic herbicides can be powerful - but the quick-fix approach won't get rid of the blighters! To wage war on these unwanted plants in your garden, you need to exploit their weaknesses. WEED will show you exactly how to do this without resorting to harmful sprays.

Managing weeds effectively and without chemicals is all about developing effective long-term strategies. Tim is a leading organic gardening specialist who will explain how to tackle problems systematically, species by species. He outlines the differences between good weeds and bad weeds, gives tips on weed identification, and provides remedies and methods of control. With it's comprehensive information and exquisite line drawings, this book is an outstanding addition to any gardener's library.

Weed: The Ultimate Gardener’s Guide to Organic Weed Control is now the essential illustrated reference for every gardener in Australia.
