My new bedside read—instructive, exciting, and written like a novel. It's popular science without the austerity, delivering essential knowledge for gardeners. This guide explores the science of soil life, tailored for leek growers and beyond. It's the book I wish I could have written myself: "Collaborate with Bacteria and Other Microorganisms" or the Soil Food Web Guide for Gardeners.
By Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis, Rouergue editions
Perfect for every gardener's hands, this book reveals everything you need to know about soil—what happens beneath the surface and how to nurture it effectively.
It debunks common myths along the way!
Learn all about bacteria—their life cycles, actions, and vital roles—plus fungi, nematodes, algae, protozoa, earthworms, and gastropods.
Armed with this expertise, you'll master maintaining your garden's soil food web.
"Collaborate with Bacteria and Other Microorganisms" targets gardeners, not monoculture farmers. By emphasizing natural principles to replicate or sustain, it proves that natural gardening is simple, time-saving, fatigue-reducing, essential, prioritized, and sustainable.
