Teaming with Microbes : The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web, Revised Edition Hardback
by Jeff Lowenfels, Wayne Lewis
Hardback
Description
"A breakthrough book. No comprehensive horticultural library should be without it." -American Gardener When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants, and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances.
Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle, and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web.
You'll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life-not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.
This must-have guide is for everyone, from those devoted to organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy plants without resorting to chemicals.
