soil A must read for those interested in the soil food web

[Proud Marine Dad]

I posted that I read this last year and I am reading it again as it has so much information to digest.
Highly recommended for those of you who hear Pepper-Guru, myself and others talk about feeding the soil and the food web.

Seems like a great book to get ...

 

[Pepper-Guru]

Yep.

But be forewarned, although it is written in somewhat layman's terms it is still a little weighty in parts.

PMD,
 
Thanks for the heads up, just picked it up on my lunch break, and so far it's a great read.  One from my collection that I would recommend is "Worms Eat My Garbage" by Mary Applehof.... pretty simple and straightforward, but a good reference.

I have that book on my Kindle as well. Good read!

I just ordered this one from the same author as Teaming with Microbes.

You reading on your kindle or buying the hardcover real books??

 

[Proud Marine Dad]

Both Trippa. Most of my newer books are on the Kindle. The one I just ordered was not on Kindle.

You don't have to buy to get some really good info on the topic, there is a whole free library dedicated to this...

I read Teaming With Microbes over the winter, and it made me completely rethink my approach to gardening.  Now I'm reading Teaming With Nutrients, and am currently about 2/3 of the way through.  For dry material, I'm surprised how easy it has been for me to chew through both books.
