Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to the Soil Food Web

Smart gardeners know that soil is anything but an inert substance. Healthy soil is teeming with life — not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

We can garden in a way that strengthens the soil food web — the complex world of soil-dwelling organisms whose interactions create a nurturing environment for plants.

With help from Jeff Lowenfels, everyone — from devotees of organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy, vigorous plants without resorting to chemicals — can create rich, nurturing, living soil.

Teaming with Nutrients: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to Optimizing Plant Nutrition

Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little or nothing about the nature of the nutrients involved.

Teaming with Nutrients explains the role of both macronutrients and micronutrients and shows gardeners how to provide these essentials through organic, easy-to-follow techniques.

Teaming with Nutrients by Jeff Lowenfels will open your eyes to the importance of understanding the role of nutrients in healthy, productive organic gardens. In short, it will make you a better informed, more successful, more environmentally responsible gardener.

Teaming with Fungi: The Organic Grower’s Guide to Mycorrhizae

Teaming with Fungi is the first book to accessibly explain the essential symbiotic relationship between soil-dwelling mycorrhizal fungi and plants.

Almost every plant in a garden forms a relationship with fungi, and many plants would not exist without their fungal partners.

By better understanding the relationship, gardeners can take advantage of the benefits of fungi, which include an increased uptake in nutrients, resistance to drought, earlier fruiting, and more.

DIY Autoflowering Cannabis: An Easy Way to Grow Your Own

Cannabis prohibition is ending around the world, and there’s a new bud in town ― auto-flowering cannabis. As easy to grow as tomatoes, auto-flowering cannabis is the perfect new plant for the home gardener who has limited time and space.

Unlike commercially grown cannabis, auto-flowering cannabis plants are small, container-grown, day-neutral, require no special lights or equipment, and grow incredibly fast – from seed to harvest in as little as seven weeks.

About Jeff Lowenfells

Jeff Lowenfels is an award winning author and lecturer spreading the word about the science behind organic gardening with an aim to eliminate the use of chemicals. He is the former President of the Garden Writers of America, a GWA Fellow and in 2005, he was inducted into the GWA Hall of Fame, the highest honor a garden writer can achieve. Jeff Lowenfels is a leader in the organic gardening/sustainability/regenerative farmning movement as a result of his best selling books (and if you’ve read the trilogy, we hope you’ve seen that Teaming with Bacteria has arrived!). Jeff’s talks have converted tens of thousands of gardeners to organic growing at venues throughout North and South America. Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to The Soil Food Web was reviewed as the most important new gardening book in 25 years. It is now out in a Revised Edition, and has been translated into 7 languages. His second book, also an award winning best seller is “Teaming With Nutrients – The Organic Gardener’s Guide to Optimizing Plant Nutrition.” Teaming with Fungi was ahead of its time as farmers around the world are learning about the importance of Mycelium networks of fungi. Most importantly, Jeff has a lovely family. He is also the founder of a now national program that started as “Plant a Row for Bean’s,” the soup kitchen in Anchorage, and is now “Plant A Row for The Hungry.” The program is active in all 50 states and Canada and has resulted in millions of pounds of garden produce being donated to feed the hungry every year. Jeff is as passionate about “Plant a Row” as he is about organics. He encourages gardeners everywhere he goes to participate in the program and constantly reminds his fellow garden communicators of the pressing need to solve the hunger problem. Note from AZENTIVE: One of the many things that we admire most about Jeff along with many other regenerative pioneers is that they realized decades ago that the hunger crisis is coming with a vengeance if we don’t stop polluting our lands and our bodies. We are at a crossroads, folks. Cover bare earth. Input organic matter. No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or genocides. It’s for food security. As Sadhguru says, starvation is perhaps the worst suffering imaginable.
