Summary:
"Healthy
soil
means thriving plants. Yet untangling the
soil
food web and optimizing your
soil
health
is beyond most
gardeners
, many of whom lack an in-depth knowledge of the
soil
ecosystem.
Soil
Science
for
Gardeners
is an accessible, science-based guide to understanding
soil
fertility and, in particular, the rhizosphere -- the thin layer of liquid and
soil
surrounding plant roots, so vital to plant
health
. Robert Pavlis-- an owner and developer of Aspen Grove Gardens, a 6 acre botanical garden -- debunks common
soil
myths, explores the rhizosphere, and provides a personalized
soil
fertility improvement program in this three-part popular
science
guidebook. Coverage includes:
Soil
biology and chemistry and how plants and
soil
interact, common
soil
health
problems, including analyzing
soil
's fertility and plant nutrients, the creation of a personalized plan for improving your
soil
fertility, including setting priorities and goals in a cost-effective, realistic time frame, and creating the optimal conditions for
nature
to do the heavy lifting of building
soil
fertility. Written for the home gardener, market gardener, and micro-farmer, the book is packed with information to help you grow thriving plants."--From publisher.
