Description
Healthy soil is essential for sustaining life on Earth. However, there is a growing need for a comprehensive guide on how to restore degraded soil. Dale Strickler, an expert in building healthy soil, presents the science behind soil restoration and proven methods for regenerating depleted soil. He explains the chemical, physical, and biological principles that govern soil function and shares practical techniques for remediating contaminated soil and implementing sustainable agriculture systems. Strickler draws on a range of farming practices from around the world, including ancient systems such as the chinampas of Mexico and modern permaculture methods. He addresses the dire consequences of growing food in poor soil, not just for food scarcity, but also for social, health, and environmental impacts. By understanding the science of healthy soil and implementing effective restoration techniques, readers can build better soil and support a more sustainable food system. This book provides a solid foundation for those looking to restore their soil and improve water retention, infiltration, and overall health. With practical advice and real-world examples, Strickler offers a comprehensive guide to building healthy soil and supporting microorganisms and other soil life.
