by Steve Solomon. Most gardeners rank the health benefits from a diet of fresh, homegrown produce as a major impetus to cultivating their own vegetables. What if the soil that’s producing the vegetables is weakened from years of poor management among other factors? That is, unfortunately, the case far too frequently, and Mr. Solomon casts a critical eye on the practices that contribute to depleting the vitality of our soil. Steve offers indispensable tools to help rebuild the nutrients in your garden soil, reverse the effects of past mismanagement, and start growing food that’s truly nutritious. Paperback, 336 pages.
