Build healthy soil and grow better plants

Robert Pavlis, a gardener for over four decades, debunks common soil myths, explores the rhizosphere, and provides a personalized soil fertility improvement program in this three-part popular science guidebook.

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 Gardeners is an accessible, science-based guide to understanding soil fertility and, in particular, the rhizosphere – the thin layer of liquid and soil surrounding plant roots, so vital to plant health. 

 Coverage includes: 

 • 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, Soil Science for Gardeners is packed with information to help you grow thriving plants.
