The Book of Weeds by Kenneth Thompson
Weeds are plants growing in the wrong place. Here's how to recognize, prevent, eradicate - or learn to live with - your unwelcome guests. Get to the root of any weed problem with Ken Thompson. With his blend of witty, down-to-earth advice and solid scientific practice, Ken explains how weeds populate your pots, paving, beds and borders and shows how to prevent them taking over - or opt for complete eradication. A 'rogue's gallery' helps you separate the true thugs from the more benign pests, and reveals how to integrate some weeds into a garden ecosystem. With eco-friendly solutions for environmentally responsible gardeners, this is the practical and achievable guide to winning the war against weeds.
Ken Thompson is a plant ecologist and senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield. He writes regularly for gardening magazines, promoting the science behind gardening to the general reader. His previous books include An Ear to The Ground, No Nettles Required and Compost.
