Narrado por: David Skulski

Build healthy soil and grow better plants

Robert Pavlis, a gardener for over four decades, debunks common soil myths, explores the rhizosphere, and provides a personalized soil fertility improvement program in this three-part popular science guidebook.

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.

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.
• 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, Soil Science for Gardeners is packed with information to help you grow thriving plants.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Perfect for inquisitive Gardeners

Loved the narrator. The book is fantastic - really science based but not so much so that you get lost if you’re not a biologist. Very good and helpful for gardeners who want to understand soil and its vital role in growing healthy food and plants! Absolutely amazing, I highly recommend it.

Wasn't dry like some books, has some different theory's on soil amendments but based on facts too. Good listen enjoyed it

Foon-ghee?

is that related in some way to fung-gai? that was only the most pronounced of some of the very bizarre pronunciation otherwise, a very useful and handy book.

Good explanation. One of the few books I can read several times and discover new things.
