Feed the Soil, Not the Plants: The Organic Gardener's Mantra

This small booklet is another excerpt from Ed Back's From the Back Acres:a Humorous Guide to Organic Gardening, designed to give readers the chance to read just that portion of the larger book that interest them for a particular project or problem at a fraction of the cost of the book. This booklet Feed the Soil, Not the Plant, deals with the nutrients and amendments needed to build the garden soil up to the healthy level needed to support vigorous vegetable plant growth.
For the reader trying to switch over from the drug dependent soil of the petrochemical garden to the healthy drug-free soil of the organic garden, this section provides an ideal roadmap to make that happen as painlessly as possible. Ed uses his humorous approach of using a farm animal here and there to help illustrate a point throughout the discussion. A must for any organic gardener, old or new.
