Product Description:

The biggest enemy of any garden is not a pest, disease, or poison—it’s any plant with tougher survival skills than the plants it competes with. The best way to weed out the invaders is with this fiendishly clever guide to native plants that can seek and destroy the top 100 most unwelcome perennials, grasses, vines, shrubs, and trees. While replacing the invaders, the beautiful, hardy native plants described here also attract native birds and butterflies, while turning away their own enemy invaders. Word-and-picture guides provide tips on care and maintenance, while helpful “at a glance” boxes depict shapes, sizes, best locations, and most attractive features of each native alternative.

Customer Reviews: Average Rating:

Rating : - Why would anyone need a pocket sized book on this topic?
This book is a mystery to me. It has a list of invasive, what states they're invasive in, and goes as far to recommend replacements. What I don't understand is why it's a pocket sized book (about that of a novel).

Am I expected to carry it around the woods or a garden store with me?
No, the pictures of invasive plants are far to small to ID anything with. The garden store is usually good enough to have things labeled but rarely do you find one good enough to carry some of the native plants this book recommends. I have never seen a ButtonBush sold anywhere but online, and actually it's hard enough just to find Milkweed. Though there seems to be a trend growing where more native plants are showing up in garden stores. I busted out laughing when I saw one selling Goldenrod. Native trees and wildflowers you'll have better luck finding at the nursery.

These books never seem to have the balls to out right say These plants should be banned from sale! Purple loosestrife is an invasive plant in most of the US but it's not banned from sale at garden nurseries in a lot of the states. This undermines the millions of dollars put towards conservationist work.

I suppose it's good to have a book on this topic but this is more like a reference and nothing more. It doesn't tell you why they're invasive or what damage they can do.
