"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.
