Grow Your Soil!

Offert en anglais seulement

Growing awareness of the importance of soil health means that microbes are on the minds of even the most casual gardeners. After all, anyone who has ever attempted to plant a patch of flowers or vegetables knows that what grows up is only as good as the soil it’s grown in. It is possible to create and maintain rich, dark, crumbly soil that’s teeming with life using very few inputs and a no-till, no-fertilizer approach.

Certified permaculture designer and lifelong gardener Diane Miessler presents soil science in an engaging, entertaining voice geared for the backyard grower. She shares the techniques she has used, including cover crops, constant mulching and a simple but supercharged recipe for compost tea, to transform her own landscape from a roadside dump for broken asphalt to a garden that stops traffic, starting from the ground up.
