This is a great book for anyone that gardens, farms, or eats! This book will tell you how to feed your plants, how to measure nourishment levels in the foods you eat, and it will answer many of your basic and advanced gardening questions. This is also a good book for anyone interested in the work of Dr. Carey Reams.

This book talks about how to make our soils so good that the food we grow on them will nourish our health. I already knew that American soils are so depleted that most of us are malnourished in spite of plenty of food items to eat. Although this author does not insist on everything used being "natural", getting back to natural seems to be the ultimate goal. The plans are something I can work with and I expect the soil on our newly excavated lot to become rich in a fairly short time.

This is a must have for your garden library. A lot of good information on plant life and nutrients. If you are interested in a good reference book on high quality home grown foods, this is the one book you need.

After reading the excepts about the divine creative energies, I guess my imagination told me that this book was about organic gardening, it isn't. The recommendations are to treat your soil with several steps beginning with soft rock phosphate, then high calcium lime, then others such as copper or iron sulfate. The author further states that that because our soil is soooo depleted, that organic amendments really don't change the soil much and your best bet is to use a combination of organic and synthentic amendments. Personally I was looking for organic methods only and was disappointed.
