Every gardener knows the importance of soil in the growing of plants. But not every gardener appreciates how to improve and care for their soil in order to grow healthier plants. This book describes the most essential elements of soil care for gardeners, with an interpretation of technical information more usually available only to soil scientists, and explains the reasons why soils work the way they do
'Caring For Soil' supports the traditional practice of allowing the natural world to help stabilise the soil's fertility in order to grow good quality garden and farm crops. Learn how to use available waste residues, understand how and why these materials work in the way they do to give gardeners control over their soil - and reap the rewards of healthier, more beautiful and longer-lasting plants.
