Weeding Without Chemicals: Bob's Basics. This item is unavailable.Weeding Without Chemicals: Bob's Basics

Let Bob Flowerdew offer you his thirty years of experience by offering advice on weed identification, composting weeds, organic weed killers, good weeds, and much more!

The nuisance caused by weeds sprouting in your otherwise thriving garden may make you want to reach for the herbicide, but as Flowerdew writes in this installment of his Bob's Basics series, weed control can be much more simple, inexpensive, and eco-friendly without chemical intervention. Chapters here include:

• What are weeds?
• Why do weeds appear?
• Why weed and when?
• Which weeds are the word?
• How to get rid of weeds--repetition and timing
• Collecting, composting, and finishing off weeds
• And much more!

Because every weed is best removed with a different method, Weeding Without Chemicals begins with a discussion of the various weed categories. No matter what sort of weed is plaguing your garden, Bob has a chemical-free way to keep it under control.
