Weedless Gardening Paperback - 2000

by Lee A. Reich

Following nature's lead of gardening "from the top down"--layering undisturbed soil with organic materials to protect soil, reduce water needs, and mitigate weed problems by keeping seeds dormant--the author presents a guide that covers both vegetable and flower gardening utilizing this method. Photos & illustrations.


From the publisher

Garden like Mother Nature, with an organic system that's good for plants and good for people. Say good-bye to backaches and weed problems! Lee Reich's organic Weedless Gardening eschews the traditional yearly digging up and working over of the soil. It's is an easy-to-follow, low-impact approach to planting and maintaining a flower garden, a vegetable patch, trees, and shrubs naturally. "If you love to knock yourself out digging beds, buy a better shovel. If you're looking for a no-nonsense alternative, buy this book!" -Ketzel Levine, National Public Radio's Doyenne of Dirt)

"Thoroughly practical, easy-to-follow guide to good gardening Lee Reich make it sound simple, and if you follow his methods and philosophy, it is." -Dora Galitzki, Gardening Columnist, The New York Times, and Author of The Gardener's Essential Companion

"Finally, a book filled with science-based information that insures success and frees us from busywork in the garden." - Dr. H. March Cathey, President Emeritus, American Horticultural Society

Let's blame it on Jethro Tull.
