Soil Amendments for the Organic Garden

Soil Amendments for the Organic GardenI'm excited to announce that the final book in my Ultimate Guide to Soil series is now available for sale!

This one is long and in-depth but very heavy on the pictures so hopefully still easy to read. In addition to rundowns on more conventional garden amendments, I've summed up our experiences with bokashi, black soldier flies, humanure, biochar, and much more.

Here are the buy links in case you want to give it a try:

What early reviewers had to say:

"Thanks to her Ultimate Guide to Soil series, I am enjoying robust plant growth and harvesting gorgeous vegetables and herbs from my garden." --- M

"I know more about composting and soil amendments now than I did before reading this - and I've been composting for 30 years, so I thought I knew it all!" --- Colin B. McGee


Thank you in advance for any support, from buying a copy to telling a friend to leaving a review. You are why I write.

I ordered your book today to add to my bookcase. I have a Kindle copy but wanted to add the book to my library. I placed the order after reading your post this morning and received an email from Amazon tonight stating it would be delivered Wednesday. I am looking forward to receiving the book.
