Centered on minimizing soil disturbance, maintaining cover, and continuous planting, it offers science-backed methods to boost soil health and profitability. Perfect for professional growers and permaculture enthusiasts aiming to build sustainable, productive gardens anywhere. ## Description Principles and farm-tested practices for no-dig market gardening – for healthier, more productive soil! From the host of the popular The No-Till Market Garden Podcast – heard around the world with nearly one million downloads! Discovering how to meet the soil’s needs is the key task for every market gardener. In this comprehensive guide, Farmer Jesse Frost shares all he has learned through experience and experimentation with no-till practices on his home farm and from interviews and visits with highly successful market gardeners in his role as host of The No-Till Market Garden Podcast . The Living Soil Handbook is centred around the three basic principles of no-dig market gardening: Disturb the soil as little as possible Keep it covered as much as possible Keep it planted as much as possible. Farmer Jesse then guides readers in applying those principles to their own garden environment, with their own materials, to meet their own goals. Beginning with an exploration of the importance of photosynthesis to living soil, Jesse provides in-depth information on: Turning over beds Using compost and mulch Path management Incorporating biology, maintaining fertility Cover cropping Diversifying plantings through intercropping Production methods for seven major crops Throughout, the book emphasises practical information on all the best tools and practices for growers who want to build their livelihood around maximising soil health. Farmer Jesse does not believe that growers should anguish over what does and does not qualify as “no-dig.” If you are using a tool to promote soil life and biology, that’s the goal. The Living Soil Handbook blends the idea of meeting the soil’s needs with the realities of making a living as a professional grower, no matter where you live. Review: Amazing book, full of information backed up by science. - This book is the go to if you are interested in no dog growing backed up with science too. Jesse Frost practices what he teachers with many well known growers writing good reviews. Listen to his daily podcast too, mine of information. Probably the best book I have on the subject. Review: Genius - Hands down, the most readable & informative no-till/dig permaculture book out there.. - OK, I haven't read every permaculture book ever published, but if there is a better one, it would be genuinely remarkable work, as The Living Soil Handbook is the most carefully, intelligently written and genuinely informative book that I have read in the gardening/horticulture genre. The author an unusually considered & articulate writer (see also his YouTube channel - @notillgrowers), with decades of personal experience and practical experimentation. Likewise, his advice is undogmatic, clear & reliable, while acknowledging that solutions vary by context. Granted, his personal focus is on profitable & sustainable horticulture, but his advice (and enthusiasm) translate directly to permaculture gardening. A must-read for any one either venturing into permaculture, or wanting to update/upgrade established good practice. - - - Bought at £17.99, with free delivery.
