This, in turn, I would call a euphemism. ;-) Yesterday, while researching, I first stumbled upon "Der Naturgarten ... Used - Hardcover Condition: good EUR 118.90 ..." but there are cheaper alternatives from him. :)

Ah, important point. Don’t order from Amazon or so, but directly from the shop of Naturgarten e.V., that’s where I got the current edition each time. Although there you also have to expect to pay 50€ each for some of the books.

Quite interesting is "Tiere Pflanzen" by Ulrike Aufderheide. You get planting lists for almost every location. Not suitable for formal gardens, as it is really close to nature. The next library is cost-effective. Many have magazines like Mein Schöner Garten, Kraut und Rüben, or books. You don't have to implement them exactly. Get ideas and dream. Natural is good for lazy gardeners , but there is still work involved. Prairie gardens are really low-maintenance. Few weeds, little maintenance work, low water requirements. Colorful and lively almost all year round. What is hard for me is to accept that a plant is not ideal for the location or that the dreamed flowerbed does not meet expectations.

... each time receive the current edition.

And which edition does your copy have?

And which edition do you have?

It should be the 4th edition

Natural is good for lazy gardeners @WilderSueden, but there is work involved in everything.

Yes, of course, you can't do it without work. But when I compare it to other books... where they work with some hybrids that absolutely must not produce seeds because otherwise the inferior offspring would displace the hybrids... constant fertilizing, watering... the difference is really big. And I would never have thought about the weed-free soil before either

It should be the 4th edition

Yes sure, it doesn’t work without effort. But when I compare that with other books... where they work with some hybrids that absolutely must not self-seed because otherwise the inferior offspring would displace the hybrids... constantly fertilizing, watering... the difference is quite big. And I would never have thought about the weed-free soil thing before.

Oh yes, and then pesticides and fungicides because they are simply more susceptible, but in return the bloom is more elaborate, more beautiful and lasts longer. I have to dispose of 2 clematis. Clematis wilt, the second time this year. Sometimes you just can’t help yourself.
With naturalistic, cottage garden, etc. a somewhat rustic look belongs. If everything is formal, it quickly looks very untended. But don’t be surprised if one or the other plant disappears gradually.

And which edition do you have?

I also have the fourth edition. Since Witt basically writes about his own work, there are always updates about the beds he created and how things have developed. I think it makes sense to order the latest edition from his site. I already recommended that to you in your garden thread :)
