Synopsis
There is an alternative to the vicious circle of chemical fertilizers: to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web--the complex world of soil-dwelling organisms whose interactions create a nurturing environment for plants., "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.

Practicalities first- What I ordered doesn't seem to be shop's usual fare, eg, resin Adeptas Sororitas listed as Space Marines. But seller was a delight, answered questions quickly, securely wrapped and shipped the order fast (w/ dice and mini's foam packaging), and even threw in stunning BONUSES. Quality better than pictured, great price! Was so lucky to find them
