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.

To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers. The Intelligent Gardener demystifies the process, while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.

The restoration agriculture system described in this award-winning book works! It is possible for humans to produce staple foods using perennial agricultural ecosystems that actually improve the quality of the environment. This can be done on a backyard, farm, or ranch scale and is needed right now - on a global scale. Restoration Agriculture explains how we can have all of the benefits of natural, perennial ecosystems and create agricultural systems that imitate nature in form and function while still providing for our food, building, fuel, and many other needs.

Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food. At the same time, it is a spiritual memoir of a man whose innovative system of cultivating the earth reflects a deep faith in the wholeness and balance of the natural world. As Wendell Berry writes in his preface, the book "is valuable to us because it is at once practical and philosophical."

Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits behind climate change and desertification. But Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, begs to differ. The bigger problem, he warns, is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not the problem; it's how we graze livestock. If we don't change the way we approach land management, irreparable harm from climate change could continue long after we replace fossil fuels.

Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.

Plant Science for Gardeners empowers growers to analyze common problems, find solutions, and make better decisions in the garden for optimal plant health and productivity. Most gardeners learn by accumulating rules–water once a week, never dry out snowdrop bulbs, prune lilacs after flowering, plant garlic in October—the list is endless. There is a better way.
Written by: Robert Pavlis
Publisher's Summary
Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little to nothing about the nature of the nutrients involved or how they get into plants. Teaming with Nutrients explains how nutrients move into plants and what both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients do once inside. It shows organic gardeners how to provide these essentials. To fully explain how plants eat, Lowenfels uses his ability to make science accessible with lessons in biology, chemistry, and botany that all gardeners need to know to understand how nutrients get to the plant and what they do once they're inside it.
Teaming with Nutrients will open your eyes to the importance of understanding the role of nutrients in healthy, productive organic gardens, and it will show you how these nutrients do their jobs. In short, it will make you a better informed, more successful, and more environmentally responsible gardener.

Wow, narrator can't even pronounce nucleus.
I was incredibly disappointed when I saw the same narrator that read Teaming with Microbes was also reading Teaming with Nutrients. Mr. Lutkin does not have a high school-level command of the English language. I would be totally okay with that if not for the fact this is a book on plant science. In the first chapter there is a short section about a plant cell's nucleus, or "nuculus" if you were to hear Mr. Lutkin say it. It's exactly at 1h21m20s into the audio book where he starts reading "nuculus" for anyone interested in keeping score. I feel like Audible or someone should at least proof the audio of their books. I don't feel like I'm being an asshole for expecting a narrator of a book to meet basic reading standards. It's a book on science with a lot of Latinate words that are difficult to pronounce, and if there is an occasional flub trying to say "endoplasmic reticulum," or whatever, no big deal. And "nucleus" isn't the only word he flubs by a long shot. His reading miscues are all over the place. They were on "Teaming with Microbes" and are back again in "Teaming with Nutrients." Huge disappointment. As for the actual content of the book, I've just started the 2nd chapter after having my "nuculus"-induced aneurysm. So far it's right in line with "Teaming with Microbes," which was very helpful in getting to know my way around soil.

Narrator's mispronunciations are distracting
The narrator's mispronunciation of scientific words was distracting. Since this book is about the science of plant nutrition, Audible should have made sure that the narrator knows how to pronounce the relevant words. I wonder if the authors listened to this audiobook before making it available on Audible.

this book is amazing literally..jeff lowenfels is a true genius
The details of plant nutrient needs and the soil biochemistry and relationships and mycorhyzzal influences has not been so well defined in easy to understand and comprehend language. if you are interested in plants and farming adn gardening or soil this book should be on the top of your "must" list...

full of great information but lacks in other areas
This book by Jeff Lowenfels gives you a good starting point in understanding on how nutrition interacts with the plants. I really enjoy that everything is broke down so you don't have to much at once. Some mispronouncing of words but I don't even know how to say them correctly. So it is what it is.
Biggest downfall is how many times the reader says "see photo blank" I can't see the photos needed to understand what was being said. Maybe a PDF with attached photographic information would help immensely. Otherwise you will need to by a physical edition to understand everything in this book.

A clear understanding of plant nutrition
Really loved listening to this. Jeff simplifies things to gain a much better overall understanding of how plants process and uptake nutrients and what nutrients and elements they uptake. He gives instructions on everything from how to prepare soil and fertilizer mixtures, to the full understanding of the cellular pathway. Really a great book! Thank you guys!!

BE AWARE! Narrator mispronounces ‘nucleus’ and ‘nuclear’ THROUGHOUT!
I love this series. I love this book.
As a person who at 33 is trying to bootstrap himself to college-level competency in Chemistry and Biology, this is one of the best crash-courses on cell biology I have ever encountered.
I also enjoy the delivery. Some people found it too monotone, but I find it a reatively lively accompaniment to the admittedly dry material.
HOWEVER Chris Lutkin’s massacre of the pronunciation of science words continues unabated. The title example is particularly glaring because frankly, his interpretation, “nukuluss” and “nukular” are non-phonetic and clearly habits of mispronunciation he picked up in childhood from mal-educaadults around him and never had corrected.
There are dozens of other errors in this entry in the “Teaming” series…some pretty egregious. And as other reviewers said, they distract badly at times. But hey, a great way to practice zen buddhism!
I have a lot of respect for the “way” he reads. I am grateful this book is available on audio.
But god help us, either coach him on science terminology, or let him warm the bench while somebody else takes a swing at the next book. Please and thank you.
