A Soil Owner's Manual: How to Restore and Maintain Soil Health Kindle Edition

The book has a few basic concepts that most people interested in soil health already know such as disturb soil less, multi species crop, keep soil covered, etc. We recently purchased a farm that really needs help. I was hoping this book would be more of a "how to" book(like the title suggests). Just was not what I was expecting

This is well worth reading even if you’re not a gardener because you’ll understand why things have gotten so bad for farmers and the food production practices in USA. Certainly action will eventually be required to try to fix the situation & the current standard operating procedures that are ruining the conditions of the earth we depend on to feed us.

This is a good read for anyone who wants to know more about soil health and why it's so important to producers, land owners, and everybody that eats and drinks water.

It's not what I need for my personal garden. I was looking for a guide for home gardens.

Very practical approach to soil restoration. Makes an interesting case for fewer soil amendments and more diversified cover crops.

Easy read, not heavily scientific text. Concepts basic and easy to implement. Recommended for both science and non-science background professionals to assist in improving soil composition.

Very good booklet.At the end of the book I feel excited to put it into practice but I wish it was more comprehensive.Anyway, it still is a good introduction to the no-till gardening method.

Great book. Very eye-opening. This should be a must read for every farmer and every agriculture student.

Don't bother buying this book. The advice, such as it is, can be summarized thus:- Soil is a living, breathing thing.- If you plough it or tip chemicals on it, you disrupt the soil structure and the health of the many organisms living in it.- If you uncover the soil, it will be eroded by the elements, so keep it covered.These ideas are not new or radical, and anybody with even a passing interest in regenerative agriculture and/or permaculture will already understand them. This book does not (as it promises) explain the arcane details behind these practical facts. Instead, the author simply repeats the same things over and over again (sometimes verbatim!) and expands upon nothing. At best, there are about ten pages worth of quality content, and that suitable only for a novice.Since the author is apparently an experienced agricultural extension officer, one would have thought he'd provide numerous practical examples showing how the themes of his book can play out in practice. There are no examples at all.I read through to the end out of sheer morbid curiosity to see if he would stop repeating himself and say something new. He doesn't.

Great book on understanding plants relation ship with the soil. Goo intro into regen ag. Transformed my way of viewing growing plants.
