This is most of the first chapter. Please offer critics. Right now, this
book (Teaming with Microbes) and "Omnivore's Dilemma" seem to give the
clearest sense of the direction that gardening and farming should be
going to get us off the dependancy on petroleum based pesticides and
fertilizers.
Hi folks,

I am the author of teaming with microbes. I hope you all enjoy it. In
fact, if you buy it and really don't like it, contact me and I will
refund your money......Just wanted you to know that If you have a
first printing edition, there is a mistake on pages 41 & 42....re
pH....the higher the pH the more alkaline the soil...the lower the pH,
the more acidic. If you have few hydrogen ions, the pH is
high.....etc.

Anyhow, this has been corrected in the second printing edition.

If you have questions, or want a speaker etc, you can contact me off
list....I do weddings and Bar Mitvahs....anywhere there are gardeners~

Cheers,

Why Should Gardeners Care?

thats good stuff Billy, thanks for sharing it. One resource I found really
interesting & helpful was a guide to organic pastoralism. It really started
me down a different path. It is free to downloadhttp://www.biodynamic.org.nz/guides/intro_ch1.pdf
