Very informative book packed full of helpful information

A great little book with suggestions that are explained over 1 or 2 pages. The suggestions are easy to adapt into everyday gardening. The best thing I took from this was that I won't be so quick to get rid of the bugs from my garden but will try and be tolerant of their needs in relation to my plants. I will be making some adaptations to the garden, such as a bug hotel and I've already ensured there is a green corridor in place. It would be great if there was a child version so the next generation of gardeners can start learning.

Nederlandse vertaling van 'Do bees need weed'.
De vragen zijn erg simplistisch, wat resulteert in opendeur-antwoorden.
Layout en schrijfstijl zijn wel aardig, ideaal voor de beginnende tuinierder.
