Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This collection presents more of Albrecht's brilliant, classic essays that provide essential insights into the health of our soil. Albrecht was one of the first to see the danger in relying on agri-chemicals instead of soil fertility for healthy crops. In this carefully organized collection of writings, Albrecht explains the workings of the soil-crop system and substantiates his theory that depleted crops, weeds, and poor animal health stem directly from the lack of major elements and trace minerals in soil. As pressure builds on contemporary agriculture to become simultaneously more robust and sustainable, Albrecht's findings - now more than ever - provide crucial information necessary for realizing agriculture that is socially viable and ecologically responsible. In Volume IV, Dr. Albrecht explains soil-crop system, nutrient importance, and biotic pyramid to solidify his vision of agriculture as an sustainable enterprise.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The chemical-based conventional agriculture industry claims that the synthesized concoctions they sell as pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides are safe when used as directed, but does the scientific evidence truly support their assertions? Organic agriculturist and lecturer Andre Leu delves into a wealth of respected scientific journals to present the peer-reviewed evidence that proves the claims of chemical companies and pesticide regulators are not all they seem. Leu translates technical jargon into layman s terms to break down the five most-repeated myths about pesticide safety, refuting them using scientific data. The pesticide industry argues that agriculture, and the global population itself, cannot survive without its products, but Leu warns that we are at risk unless we break free of their toxic hold and turn to more natural methods of pest and weed regulation. Andre Leu challenges conventional farming methods by refuting the myths that surround the use and understanding of pesticides. He exposes the dangers of these chemicals and advocates organic practices as the most viable for farming in the 21st Century.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In an organic garden, plants in optimum health thrive abundantly, have harvests with amazing taste, and have the ability to fight off plant predators. When they don't, there's often something lacking in their proper nutrition, they are missing beneficial microorganism companions, or they are lacking the energy needed to reach their full nutrient-dense potential. The solution is to "start with the soil." But healthy soil doesn't form simply by composting, fertilizing, or companion planting alone. The solution is in Phil Nauta's 'Building Soils Naturally', where he outlines a practical and holistic approach to gardening by showing how to build soil from nutrients and microbial inoculants. His application creates gardens that are rich in life and produce nutrient-dense food with wonderful flavor. This book is a practical guide to crafting living and organic soil naturally for gardens and small farms in order to grow diverse and nutrient-dense food.
