Free: Humusphere: Humus, a Substance or a Living System?

Humusphere: Humus, a Substance or a Living System?
In this breakthrough work — now available in English for the first time — the independent German-Norwegian explorer of soil life, graduate permaculture designer and graduate engineer Herwig Pommeresche shares his lifetime of research into humus.

His entire career has focused on the theory and practice of humus management in gardening and farming. Digging deep into a myriad of little-known research papers, he compares their findings with the usual conventional methods.

He found we have an inadequate understanding of the mechanisms by which plants absorb and process their nutrients. Our conventional model is that plants only get nutrients in the form of water-soluble salts, hence common conventional fertilizers. Fertilization methods in agriculture and horticulture have been based on this model, which the author calls “mineral model,” since the mid-nineteenth century. They largely have not been questioned since then despite the problems they cause.

But there are also works by scientists — decades deep research — which have found a completely different form of plant nutrition. Plants can, in simple terms, by “eversion” of their fine root cells take larger food particles and transport it inside the cell. They can also take up larger molecules and even entire cells — and this is what’s interesting — even in living form, a process known as endocytosis, a phenomenon long known in zoology and microbiology. Too little is known that this is also practiced by higher plants. Understanding plants nutrient uptake and the role of humus in the process will put modern agricultural practice to the test.

Pommeresche was born in Hamburg in 1938 and has lived in Norway since 1974. He received a degree in architecture from the University of Hanover. He has spent many years active as an architect and urban planner in Norway. After finishing his studies in architecture, he became a trained permaculture designer and teacher under the instruction of Professor Declan Kennedy. Alongside other permaculture experts, he served as an organizer of the third International Permaculture Convergence in Scandinavia in 1993. He later served as a visiting lecturer at the University of Oslo. Today, Herwig Pommeresche is seen as a pillar of the Norwegian permaculture movement. He also serves as an author
and a speaker.

Herwig Pommeresche is a holder of the prestigious Francé Medal, awarded in 2010 by the Gesellschaft für Boden, Technik, Qualität (BTQ) e.V. (founded in 1993) in recognition of his contributions to organic methods and ways of thinking and to the preservation and improvement of the humusphere. Free on Kindle.

The Whispering House

The Whispering House: "Some loves transcend death. Some houses remember everything." (The Witches of Hollomere Book 1)
THE WHISPERING HOUSE Witches of Hollowmere, Book 1

She inherited a house. He came with it. And neither expected to fall. Seraphina Locke has built her life on logic and solitude. As a book restorer in Boston, she finds comfort in mending broken spines and torn pages—bringing order to the chaos of time. Emotions are messy. The past is unpredictable. She prefers it that way. Then a letter arrives that shatters everything. She’s inherited Hollowmere House—a crumbling Gothic manor perched on the cliffs of Port Blossom, Massachusetts—from a great-aunt whose existence was deliberately hidden from her. The inheritance comes with an ancient iron key, cryptic warnings, and secrets that reach back generations. The house is not empty. Nathaniel shouldn’t exist. Bound to Hollowmere by ancient magic for over a century, he’s trapped between life and death—corporeal, tangible, and entirely too real for a ghost. He’s angry. Lonely. And not at all pleased that another Locke has returned to disturb his solitary existence. As Sera uncovers dusty grimoires and discovers the truth about her bloodline—that she comes from a long line of powerful witches—the connection between her and Nathaniel shifts from antagonism to something far more dangerous. The house remembers everything. Every spell cast within its walls. Every sacrifice made. Every love that bloomed and withered in its shadows. Hollowmere is alive, and it’s been waiting for Sera—the blood heir who might finally have the power to break the binding that keeps Nathaniel trapped. But freedom comes at a devastating price. The magic anchoring Nathaniel to the house is woven into its very foundation. Breaking the curse could destroy everything Sera has come to love—including the man she never expected to fall for. As winter storms batter the coast and old magic stirs in the darkness, Sera must make an impossible choice: let Nathaniel remain bound to an eternal half-life, or risk a spell that could destroy them both.

A Gothic paranormal romance about:  Star-crossed love that transcends death. A house that’s alive with secrets. Witch magic with real consequences. A book restorer discovering her power. A century-old ghost who’s more than he seems. Impossible choices and devastating hope

“Answering that call was a dangerous risk in a world now filled with nightmares, but it was better than having no hope at all, so we left our dens and our dregs and followed Safe Haven.
Not everyone made it and some of those who did were too far gone to be trusted. The apocalypse left its mark on all of us and Safe Haven wasn’t immune. It was a place of safety, of light, of duty and honor. It was a refuge for all survivors, where even romance blossomed under the ashes. It was also a place of death and darkness, where murder and madness walked hand-in-hand.”
