Weed-Free Gardening

Informative and easy to follow. A lot of illustrations and graphics. Clear, concise information. I already compost and will try some of these ideas. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

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

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.

Gardening is one of my favorite summer time activities. Every year I plant a large vegetable garden and a ton of flowers, so when I saw this nook I knew I needed to read it. The tips in this book are great for an experienced gardener or a beginner. It is very easy to follow and I know I will be using the things I learned from this book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Weed-Free Gardening: A Comprehensive and Organic Approach to Weed Management by Tasha Greer is currently scheduled for release on April 12 2022. It offers readers clear and easy-to-undertake methods to get weeds under control without the need for potentially harmful synthetic herbicides. The book helps readers 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, and Implement a practical plan to gain long-term control over weeds. There are also 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 a well written and organized book. I found that it could stand up well to reading cover to cover or by reading the sections you need most or want to study up on. I like that the suggestions and explanations are realistic and understandable. I liked that the author acknowledged that no solution is perfect, because nature is amazing and every yard, region, and gardener is a little different. However, I loved that the history, science, and personal stories are woven in together to give readers the best foundation of information to figure out what they want to try, what is most likely to suit their needs, and how to adjust as they try things. I thought the information was clearly worded, easy to follow and understand, and paired with images that brought it all together. I was just planning this year's garden, and this book has given me some great ideas and helped to shift some of my gardening notions that just might have been part of my weed issues. I look forward to trying out some of the new tips and tricks that are now part of my knowledge base. I wish I had more room on my gardening bookshelf so I could add it to my collection. I just might splurge on a copy even though I am out of room.

I 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.

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 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. .

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
