 Building Soils Naturally: Innovative Methods for Organic Gardeners by Phil Nauta

Whether experienced or just getting started, gardeners are likely to encounter some perplexing (and common) setbacks â certain fruit and vegetable plants that donât produce as expected, ornamental plants that fail to thrive, and plant predators that chew plants to the ground. All of these issues point to plants that arenât at optimum health. The advice most often given is âstart with the soil,â but what specific steps should gardeners take? Building Soils Naturally shows gardeners how to grow more nutritious food and have healthier, pest-resistant flowers and ornamental plants.

Building Soils Naturally shows how to create productive, living soil using a simple, practical, hands-on plan that includes: Using compost and microbial inoculants to balance the soil food web ; Controlling plant predators and weeds forever, without chemicals; Soil testing and full-spectrum organic fertilizing.

Author, Phil Nauta, the âSmiling Gardener,â works with his wife Heather, a registered Holistic Nutritionist, to help people improve their health and the health of their gardens and the planet through the www.SmilingGardener.com website, sharing innovative methods with organic growers worldwide.
