Teaming With Microbes

Teaming with Microbes is a guide to gardening in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web —the complex world of soil-dwelling organisms whose interactions create a nurturing environment for plants. By eschewing jargon and overly technical language, authors Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis make the benefits of cultivating the soil food web available to a wide audience, from devotees of organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy, vigorous plants without resorting to destructive and often toxic chemicals.
