Just What the Title Says,
By
This review is from: The Farmer's Earthworm Handbook: Managing Your Underground Money-Makers (Paperback)
This 112-page papercover book is ideal for farmers, extension educators, soil conservationists, and crop advisors. Areas covered include the contribution of earthworms to good soil tilth, practical identification of common genera and species, biology of earthworms, earthworm habitat under various cultural practices, how to increase earthworm populations on the farm, effects of 193 agricultural chemicals on earthworms and a question and answer section. The author presents research findings from scientists as well as anecdotal data from farmers and others 'in the know'. An easy read, this book is a great place to start learning about earthworms under agricultural conditions. Many, many authorities and other contacts are listed in the back of the book. If you want to decrease run-off, lower your fertilizer bill, reduce erosion and make more money on your farm or for your grower clients, this book is the place to start.
