no fertilizer, and no tilling. Grow Your Soil! guides home
gardeners through the process of creating and maintaining rich,
dark, crumbly soil that's teeming with life while cultivating a

constant mulching, and a simple-but-supercharged recipe for compost
tea, author Diane Miessler shares with readers the techniques she
used to transformed her own land over the course of a decade from a
roadside dump for broken asphalt into a garden that literally stops
traffic.

I loved “Grow Your Soil!” by Diane Miessler from the first page! It is packed full of insightful information but it’s threaded together with a fabulous “building your soil house” metaphor which makes the science easier to remember and the book more enjoyable!
The book begins setting the scene for why healthy soil is not only great for the gardener but for the world as well. It details the way we’ve destroyed the ground by taking more from it than we put in.
It explores how to work in harmony with our soil. It outlines what soil is, what makes good soil and then how to improve our soil. With beautiful illustrations and plenty of humour, Diane shares practical and easy-to-implement ways to grow our soil! My only objection is to her massacre of snails! I have a fondness for them, aside from that, the book is full of working in harmony with, and appreciation for, the amazing world of creation in which we live.
If you want to combat global warming, improve your garden and care for the natural community around you, this is one to read! It’s a five out of five on the enJOYment scale and highly recommended!
