Organic gardeners don’t use herbicides and weedkiller, so how do they control the weeds in their garden? Learn about digging, No Dig gardening, mulching, hand weeding and stale seedbeds in this episode.
Joanna from Michigan has sent in a link to a web page about her least favourite weed: Creeping Charlie.
But weeds can also be useful plants – adding wildlife value to your garden and making a useful addition to your compost heap. Madeleine from Mad About Herbs is also keen for you to eat some of them! If you want to get into foraging, you’ll need a good guidebook – Madeleine recommends Wild Food by Roger Phillips.
Coming up on Saturday 29th March is Earth Hour, a chance to join in an international environment event simply by turning off the lights.
And listeners in North America might find the new Seed and Plant Finder from Mother Earth News useful for tracking down particular varieties of seeds and plants.
