No-weed gardening

How this new approach will transform your garden and life

There are two reasons I haven’t weeded our garden this spring and neither have anything to do with wildlife or my love of wildflowers. These two reasons have transformed my outlook on gardens and my life. They can have the same impact for you, too. Here I will explain what those two reasons are and why they are so life changing.

I could spend forever removing creeping buttercups from our garden but I can’t be bothered. It’s not that I want so many of them, I love wildflowers but I do also want our garden to be to my colour preferences, which means more pink and less butter yellow.

The old solution would be to get on my hands and knees to dig out all of the buttercups. A process I’d estimate would take me about 2 - 3 solid days and about the same again for them to start growing back.
