Understand the science behind plant nutrition and how to make it work in a sustainable way for both your garden and the wider environment.
Just as he demystified the soil food web in his book, Teaming with Microbes, in this new work organic gardening expert Jeff Lowenfels explains the basics of plant nutrition from an organic gardener’s perspective. In his entertaining yet informative style, Lowenfels teaches the reader about the role of nutrients involved in plant feeding. He provides accessible lessons in the biology, chemistry, and botany needed to understand how nutrients get to the plant and what they do once they're inside the plant. He then explains the knowledge and techniques needed to optimise plant nutrition in an environmentally-friendly way.
Teaming with Nutrients will open your eyes to the importance of understanding the role of nutrients in healthy, productive organic gardens. In short, it will make you a better informed, more successful, more environmentally responsible gardener.
