More About the Author

I have the greatest job in the world, which is helping gardeners find neat ways to make the world a more beautiful and productive place. Writing feature article for Mother Earth News and other magazines helps to break up long stretches spent on books, and it's also great fun to talk with fellow gardeners, who are a constant source of new and better ideas.

i have been, like most who would read this, been dealing with weeds for years. This pamphlet reinforced what i have been doing and provided great suggestions for other control methods. I appreciated the logical presentation and down-to-earth advice.

The only thing that would be more helpful when using this book would be photos instead of drawings. Otherwise, I like it and use it.
