Building Soils for Better Crops
by Fred Magdoff & Harold van Es
"To use the land without abusing it" sums this book up. Put out by the sustainable Agriculture Network, this is a practical guide to ecological soil management meant for farmers, advisors to farmers, students, and those who want to learn more about soil management. It covers the basics of soil organic matter (humus), its physical properties, and nutrient cycles and flows. The second section is about how you manage the soils - how to use manure, cover crops, crop rotations, composts, preventing compaction, tillage, management of nitrogen and phosphorous and getting the most out of soil tests. Includes farm profiles from the U.S. 230 pages
