Publisher's summary

Remember when fruits and vegetables were bursting with flavor?

The increasing demand on farmers to produce the fastest, highest-yielding crop comes with a price: it’s less nutritious and environmentally detrimental. Decades of using fertilizers and pesticides have stripped the soil of many required elements and microbes needed to grow nutritious food, resulting in the decline of many essential vitamins and minerals in our diet.

Using data from the US Department of Agriculture, Donald Davis from the University of Texas published a paper in The Journal of American College of Nutrition pointing to a significant decline in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and Vitamins B2 and C in 43 different fruits and vegetables.

Is there a way to grow healthier plants at home without fertilizers and pesticides? Well, nature has been doing it for over 450 million years!

It’s called soil.

A healthy soil is a living, breathing ecosystem that provides all the nutrients for your garden to thrive. You can have an ecofriendly and sustainable way to produce your own tastier and nutritious food or just have thriving houseplants easily, without the conventional work of gardening.

In this book, you will discover:

  • The regenerative ecosystem and food web of soil
  • How to create your own living soil in an easy step-by-step guide
  • How to maintain a thriving microbial ecosystem in your garden
  • How to aerate your soil without tilling
  • How to plan your crop rotation around your soil health
  • Natural ways to combat pests, diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and much more!

With Living Soil, you will be able to grow beautiful plants indoors and outdoors, even if you are just a beginner or haven’t had much success in the past.

So, if you want to create this thriving ecosystem for yourself, then listen to Living Soil!

How could you not know how to pronounce the words.

I don't understand how you could have someone Narrate your book and not tell them how to pronounce the technical terms. The one that just drove me crazy was mycorrhizal fungi. Why didn't anyone tell him how to pronounce it? And he must say it 30 or 40 times. You can tell that the authors know something about soil, but are clearly not experts about soil or diseases, insects and bacteria. Please, would someone like Elaine Ingham or Matt Powers make an audio book about soil, so that I can listen on my way to work.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
