Description
Revitalize your garden with the power of locally sourced materials. Nigel Palmer's guide shows you how to create biologically diverse inoculants and mineral-rich amendments using materials like leaf mold, weeds, eggshells, and bones, available for little or no cost. By making your own amendments, you can achieve a truly sustainable garden ecosystem with better results at a fraction of the cost of commercial fertilizers. This comprehensive guide provides practical, detailed instructions for creating extracts, ferments, and inoculants that increase soil biological activity, mineral availability, pest and disease resistance, yields, and nutrient density. You'll also learn how to improve your soil test, compost, cover crop, mulch, and measure the quality of your fruits and vegetables using a refractometer.
