Publisher's Summary

Remember when fruits and vegetables were bursting with flavor?

The increasing demand on farmers to produce the fastest, highest-yielding crop comes with a price: it’s less nutritious and environmentally detrimental. Decades of using fertilizers and pesticides have stripped the soil of many required elements and microbes needed to grow nutritious food, resulting in the decline of many essential vitamins and minerals in our diet.

Using data from the US Department of Agriculture, Donald Davis from the University of Texas published a paper in The Journal of American College of Nutrition pointing to a significant decline in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and Vitamins B2 and C in 43 different fruits and vegetables.

Is there a way to grow healthier plants at home without fertilizers and pesticides? Well, nature has been doing it for over 450 million years!

It’s called soil.

A healthy soil is a living, breathing ecosystem that provides all the nutrients for your garden to thrive. You can have an ecofriendly and sustainable way to produce your own tastier and nutritious food or just have thriving houseplants easily, without the conventional work of gardening.

In this book, you will discover:

  • The regenerative ecosystem and food web of soil
  • How to create your own living soil in an easy step-by-step guide
  • How to maintain a thriving microbial ecosystem in your garden
  • How to aerate your soil without tilling
  • How to plan your crop rotation around your soil health
  • Natural ways to combat pests, diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and much more!

With Living Soil, you will be able to grow beautiful plants indoors and outdoors, even if you are just a beginner or haven’t had much success in the past.

So, if you want to create this thriving ecosystem for yourself, then listen to Living Soil!

Reads like a textbook

This one was short and sweet, to the point with no extra fluff or fun. it reads like a textbook and will require more learning to fully understand

About five minutes long

I could have used more info about gardening, this was pretty short and not worth it
