Did you know that one teaspoon of healthy soil can contain more living organisms than there are people on Earth?
Soil isn’t just dirt.
Beneath your feet is a complex, living ecosystem packed with nutrients, minerals, fungi, microorganisms and other forms of life - and understanding what is happening beneath the surface could completely change the way you garden.
Healthy soil is the foundation of a productive garden. Get it right, and you can give your plants the conditions they need to grow stronger, healthier and more abundantly.
A Spoonful of Soil Helps the World Go Round takes the mystery out of soil and explains the science in simple, easy-to-understand language, without overwhelming you with technical jargon.
Nydia will show you how to understand your soil and give it what it needs to support a thriving garden.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- The different types of soil and how they affect your garden
- How to identify the type of soil you have
- The essential nutrients your soil needs
- How to test your soil’s pH
- How to test your soil’s composition
- The importance of water and how it interacts with your soil
- How cover crops can support healthier soil
- How to use compost and mulch effectively
- Common soil mistakes and how to avoid them
- Why healthy soil matters for plants, wildlife and the wider environment
And much more.
You don’t need to be a scientist to understand your soil.
This book breaks down the fascinating science beneath your feet into practical information that any gardener can understand and put into practice.
Because when you stop thinking of soil as simply something your plants grow in—and start thinking of it as a living ecosystem—the way you garden changes.
Whether you’re growing vegetables in raised beds, tending a backyard garden or simply want to understand what’s happening beneath your plants, this book will help you build the knowledge you need to create healthier soil and a more productive garden.
Healthy soil is where a thriving garden begins.
