Publisher's Summary

When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

This must-have guide is for everyone, from those devoted to organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy plants without resorting to chemicals.

So much information.

There is a lot of information in the world of microbes and this book does a great job of introducing it. I debated on buying a paper copy of this book for a very long time. After finishing the audio version I feel very comfortable adding a hard copy to my collection for future references.

Great Listen for Every Gardner

Only thing that would have made this a better listen is if Jeff himself was narrating. Hopefully Jeff narrates his next book.

Great book with lots of great knowledge

lots of knowledge and room to improve/expand gardening skills. Understanding whats going on under and in the soil on a microscopic level has certainly improved my output.

Really wanted to finish but...

the way the narrator reads drove me to distraction! I'll get the hard copy.
