Soil Science for Gardeners by Robert Pavlis
Working with Nature to Build Soil Health
Healthy soil means thriving plants. Yet untangling the soil food web and optimizing your soil health is beyond most gardeners, many of whom lack an in-depth knowledge of the soil ecosystem.
Soil Science for GardenersĀ is an accessible, science-based guide to understanding soil fertility and, in particular, the rhizosphere ā the thin layer of liquid and soil surrounding plant roots, so vital to plant health.

- Soil biology and chemistry and how plants and soil interact
- Common soil health problems, including analyzing soil's fertility and plant nutrients
- The creation of a personalized plan for improving your soil fertility, including setting priorities and goals in a cost-effective, realistic time frame.
- Creating the optimal conditions for nature to do the heavy lifting of building soil fertility
Written for the home gardener, market gardener, and micro-farmer,Ā Soil Science for GardenersĀ is packed with information to help you grow thriving plants.
