Teaming with Microbes: A Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web
Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis
http://www.amazon.com/Teaming-Microb...l/dp/088192777

/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206815176&sr= 1-1

Teaming with Microbes is important in understanding what is happening
in
the soil, e.g.:
Chapter 1

Hmmm ...

The Book "Teaming with Microbes: A Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web
by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis" Is an excellent book, however it is
in my opinion, not for the beginning type of garden book, unless you
have a scientific mind.

For a more down to earth book, I'll go with:
"The Vegetable Gardener's BIBLE by Smith"
A newer version comes out in February.

Sorry Billy

Enjoy Life... Dan

"Vegetable Gardener' Bible" by Edward C. Smith.
http://www.amazon.com/Vegetable-Gard...Gardening/dp/1
580172121/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206815454&sr=1-1
is a good book and I use it often, but I have never seen another book
that explains soil as well as "Teaming with Microbes". I think most
people have a handle on worms, bacteria, and fungi. It shouldn't be too
much of a stretch to look-up protozoa and nematodes. The main concepts
are the living nature of the soil, the cost of killing that community of
organisms, and how that community of organism is only supported by
organic gardening.

Jeff Lowenfels has been writing a garden column since 1976. Newspapers
typically write for some one with a 12 year old mentality, so I don't
think the book is too challenging. If it proves too difficult, you may
want to try
City Green (Hardcover) by Dyanne Disalvo-ryan
http://www.amazon.com/City-Green-Dya...812786X/ref=sr
_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1264474197&sr=1-1.

;O)

Hmmm....

How many books do you have Wild Billy?
Books are an addiction Amazon.com loves me

I have about 1,200 books in my library. Average cost $25 per book.
That about $30,000 in books. I have read 3/4 of them. I keep asking
myself: Does that make smart or stupid?

Latest books I have purchased:
On Gardening, 2 months ago
Gaia's Garden, Second Edition: A Guide To Home-Scale Permaculture
ISBN-10: 1603580298. A very interesting book on design.

On Cooking, 1 month ago
Cookwise: The Secrets of Cooking Revealed
ISBN-10: 0688102298. For the scientific mind
and
Rick Bayless's Mexican Kitchen: Capturing the Vibrant flavors of a
World-Class Cuisine. SBN-10: 0684800063. I like it!

On Computers, last week
PHP 6 and MySQL 5 for Dynamic Web Sites: Visual QuickPro Guide
ISBN-10: 032152599X. On Chapter 3, So far so good.
"David E. Ross" knows about this one.

PATHETIC! Is it not!

Enjoy Life... Dan

Knowing about can not compare to doing about. I had this woman last
night but then I woke up just about the same thing. Still it can be
hard...but not real.

Bibliomania a wonderful book...

Reminded that the only sin there is is wanting to know everything.
French Guy name lost at the moment....Had some book with flowers growing
out of his ass as an image from Droll Stories Balzac .....you got
me to dust things off.

Wikipedia:
Bibliomania is an obsessive*compulsive disorder involving the collecting
or hoarding of books to the point where social relations or health are
damaged. One of several psychological disorders associated with books,
bibliomania is characterized by the collecting of books which have no
use to the collector nor any great intrinsic value to a genuine book
collector. The purchase of multiple copies of the same book and edition
and the accumulation of books beyond possible capacity of use or
enjoyment are frequent symptoms of bibliomania.

Hmmm...
Part me, Part not. I have no social life and my health has always
sucked. I do not have multiple copies of books. I do read most of my
books. Many of my books has value, out of print and on ebay 3 to 4 times
what I originally paid for them.

Is it really a sin? What part of the seven deadly sins does Bibliomania
belong to? Or is just a Venial Sin? Is it an immoral sin wanting to
know everything? I WANT TO KNOW!!!

Is it a mental disorder.... hmmm maybe I have it

I already know everything - except "money and women", Those two areas I
know little about. However, I think those two subjects are related
somehow About the French GUY you mentioned, The French people don't
know anything except about money and women.

Also, Making your own homemade Corn Tortillas taste soo much better than
what you get from the store. I made a stack of them this morning. I
applied what I read and learned

I am Corn... Dan

I put the book "The Anatomy of Bibliomania" on my wish list for spring.
I am paying penitence for my financial Christmas sins

Oh... I forgot to add "Time travelers never die" by Jack McDevitt
Got that one two weeks ago. I liked his past novels.

Also, I purchased my seeds last week. Some day I have to start reading
that book I have called "Seed to Seed" by Suzanne Ashworth. I need to
save money so I can spend more on books.
