Fill a Christmas (or Winter Solstice) Stocking With WEEDS: An Organic, Earth-friendly Guide to Their Identification, Use and Control. Get a Signed Copy Direct From the Author – With FREE P&P!*

Weeding in the garden or allotment never stops, even in winter.

But at this time of year we can ease back a bit, take stock, and run our fingers over the pages of some favourite gardening books, rather than over frozen soil. I like the sound of that.

Understanding more about how our gardens tick is the best way of cultivating them in more organic, more eco- and earth-friendly ways. Knowing how the weeds on your patch tick is key to deciding on the best ways of gently reducing their numbers, without the use of polluting weedkillers. Some weeds – think dandelions – offer boundless benefits to all sorts of garden wildlife, and can safely be left to bloom their socks off (just nip off the seedheads if you don’t want too many).

Identifying those weeds worth hugging, as well as those to be wary of, is all part and parcel of gaining an intimate knowledge of how your own unique garden or allotment works.

And this is where my book Weeds: An Organic, Earth-friendly Guide to Their Identification, Use & Control comes in rather handy for some enlightening winter reading.

“This is a great book. We are just starting an organic vegetable plot this year and the book has been a revelation – it’s wonderful to see what weeds are helpful in encouraging insects and wildlife and can be safely encouraged, and which should be watched carefully! It’s clear, well-written and with very helpful photographs. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could. Highly recommended.”
