The Intelligent Gardener: Growing Nutrient-Dense Food

Steve Solomon's newest book, the Intelligent Gardener, will change the way you garden. His no-nonsense, ultra-practical approach will put food on the table that will nourish people as opposed to just filling their bellies. Utilizing soil tests he thoroughly explains how to interpret your own soil test and remedy soil deficiencies (or excesses). He covers a lot of ground in this book and is not afraid to go into detail or leave orthodoxy behind in the quest to grow nutrient - dense foods. This book really explains some highly technical topics in a manner that any home gardener can use effectively to increase the health benefits, and flavor of your vegetable garden. His decades of gardening experience and attention to science have produced one of the best gardening books ever. Take your vegetable garden beyond organic and start growing some real food. Along with one of his previous titles, 'Gardening When It Counts', now there are two of his books that I keep on my handiest bookshelf.

Awesome books by an experienced gardener. I'm grateful to the author for sharing his rich experience in this book. Must Read for gardners, farmers.

If you are interested in alternative methods for gardening then this is an excellent book. I really like Steve Solomons way of explaining his methodology and it is clear over his different texts he is not afraid to admit mistakes which i really admire in a writer.

libro molto interessante. Se non si hanno basi di conoscenza sul suolo e la sua chimica può risultare ostico, ma al massimo vorrà dire rileggere qualche paragrafo e riflettere su quello che si legge. Lo consiglio vivamente per coloro che hanno un orto, oppure per coloro che vivono di agricoltura su piccola/media scala

A wonderful book that is full of important information. As the saying goes "garbage in, garbage out". With the demands of agra-business providing quantity but not always quality this is the missing link of success.
