Book recommendation:
“Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to the Soil Food Web” by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis.
This book does an outstanding job of explaining the complex interplay between plants, soil, and the zillions of life forms in-between. It also describes ways to cultivate the “good” microbes, using equipment you probably already have.
So, you’re telling me that there’s more than just Nematodes in my garden soil? ;)
Sounds interesting.
