About the Book

"A breakthrough book. No comprehensive horticultural library should be without it." -American Gardener When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants, and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle, and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You'll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life-not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. This must-have guide is for everyone, from those devoted to organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy plants without resorting to chemicals.

About the Author :
Jeff Lowenfels is the author several of award-winning books on plants and soil, and he is the longest running garden columnist in North America. Lowenfels is a national lecturer as well as a fellow, hall of fame member, and former president of the Garden Writers of America.Wayne Lewis is a lifelong Alaskan gardener. He has worked with Jeff Lowenfels on many projects over the past 25 years, including the now national Plant a Row for the Hungry program, which encourages gardeners to donate a portion of their harvest to charitable organizations in their community.

Review :
"A breakthrough book. . . . well worth owning and reading. No comprehensive horticultural library should be without it." --American Gardener "Digs into soil in a most enlightening and entertaining way." --Dallas Morning News "Required reading for all serious gardeners." --Miami Herald "The authors have given gardeners an inside scoop on the scientific research supporting organic gardening." --Pacific Horticulture "This intense little book may well change the way you garden." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Exceptional. . . . A brief, clear overview of scientific information with which every gardener should be familiar." --Monterey Herald "Sure, it's a gardening book, but it has all the drama and suspense of an extraterrestrial thriller. A cast of characters without eyeballs or backbones. Battle scenes with bizarre creatures devouring one another. Only this book is about as terrestrial as it gets." --Anchorage Daily News "All good gardeners know healthy plants start with healthy soil. But why? And how? In Teaming with Microbes Lowenfels and Lewis reveal the new research in the most practical and accessible way." --The Oregonian "Read this book and you'll never think of soil the same way." --Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Sure, it's a gardening book, but it has all the drama and suspense of an extraterrestrial thriller. . . . Read this book and you'll never look at soil the same way." --BB Magazine "A must read for any gardener looking to create a sustainable, healthy garden without chemicals." --Virginian-Pilot "It takes readers underground to meet the critters that live if you let them under the garden." --Rockland Courier-Gazette "[Teaming with Microbes] was one of those 'aha' moments for me, where I realized I had been growing wrong this whole time." --Matthew Frigon (Founder of Lazy Bee Farms) in Dope Magazine
