Book Reviews of All About Weeds
Book Review: Just what I wanted....
Summary: 4 Stars
After years of thinking how helpful a book about weeds would be, I was delighted to find this one. Included in Spencer's text is a layperson's description of each plant, as well as where it grows, how it is spread, who its relatives are, how to get rid of it and any known uses or lore associated with it. At the end of the "common" information for each weed is its technical description and formal names. The illustrations are excellent, although color photographs would have been more useful for weed identification. Overall though, a great find, and one I have already passed on to others!
Summary of All About Weeds
Pigweed, dogbane, crabgrass, spiderwort, poison ivy, yellow dock ? a total of 102 common weeds are presented with technical precision and humor. Each is splendidly illustrated and identified through multiple keys by means of physical characteristics, type of soil, and much more.
