Omschrijving
Healthy soil isn't an input--it's a living system you can learn to cultivate
Strong harvests begin below the surface. Living Soil: A Grower's Guide shows gardeners and small-scale farmers how to build fertile, resilient soil that supports productive crops year after year--without relying on high-input fixes or extractive practices.
Grounded in The Market Gardener Method, this highly illustrated guide translates soil science into clear, practical decisions you can apply immediately, whether you're improving a backyard garden or managing a diversified market farm. The focus is on understanding how soil functions--and how to work with biology rather than against it.
What this Book Offers
- A clear explanation of soil structure, organic matter, minerals, and microbial life
- Practical ways to assess soil health, from simple field observations to basic testing
- Proven low- and no-till techniques that protect soil structure and biology
- Strategies for composting, mulching, crop rotation, and green manures
- Long-term approaches to maintaining fertility while reducing labor and inputs
Rather than prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions, this guide helps you make informed choices based on your soil, crops, and climate--building systems that improve over time.
Who this Book is For
- Gardeners who want healthier plants and more consistent yields
- Market growers seeking durable, regenerative production systems
- Farmers reducing tillage and external inputs
- Readers of The Market Gardener looking to deepen their soil practice
- Anyone interested in working with living ecosystems, not against them
