"Weeds are one of the inescapable realities of gardening, and for many gardeners, trying to identify and control them is an unending struggle. The goal of this guide is to help gardeners and homeowners in the Pacific Northwest from British Columbia to Northern California identify and control the weeds, non-native, and invasive plants on their property. Because control methods apply to multiple species, the book will be divided into two main sections: plant identification and control methods. Each plant will be clearly identified through photographs and text descriptions. Approximately 250-300 species will be profiled. Readers will learn ways to control or eradicate these plants growing in the wrong place. Some plants can be killed by eating them, some by digging, some by smothering, and some only by the judicious application of chemical herbicides. Nontoxic control methods will be encouraged whenever they are effective"--
