Whether you’re a serious home gardener or a full-time farmer, A Growers Guide for Balancing Soils will help you expand your understanding of the science behind plant nutrition. It all starts with the soil, but, as you’ll read, just spreading compost and hoping for the best isn’t a strategy for success.

Drawing on 40 years of experience using the Albrecht philosophy of balancing soils, William McKibben will walk you through a data-driven, time-tested process that starts with soil analysis, but doesn’t stop there. Productive soil that has the right balance of bio-available minerals and maximizes crop production and quality is the goal, and McKibben outlines a common-sense approach for how to get there.

For example, readers will learn how to:build a more complete soil-health management system; balance pH consistently across your fields with mineral balancing; create more resilient crops by knowing how soil health affects disease and pest pressure; and convert raw testing data into real action.

For both organic and conventional farmers, A Growers Guide for Balancing Soils dives deep into how macro-nutrients such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and sulfur — along with potassium and micronutrients (cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, and zinc) — affect the development of healthy crops. It’s a problem-solver’s handbook for building soil health. Free on Kindle.

Healthy soil is the foundation of healthy life—and A Soil Owner’s Manual is your essential guide to restoring it.In this revised and expanded second edition, soil scientist Jon Stika explains how the biology beneath our feet drives plant health, food quality, and ecosystem balance. Drawing on decades of field research and practical experience, Stika reveals how our current agricultural systems—focused on yields and inputs—have broken the natural functions of soil. He then provides clear, science-based steps for rebuilding that living system, whether you manage a backyard garden or a thousand-acre farm.

Through practical examples and accessible explanations, readers will learn: What healthy soil is designed to doHow soil biology supports plant nutrition and pest resistance. Why tillage, fertilizers, and chemical inputs often do more harm than good. How to manage land using natural principles that promote regeneration.

Foreword by Gabe Brown, a pioneer of regenerative agriculture, this book offers a hopeful, grounded vision of how restoring the soil can restore our health, communities, and planet.

If you care about food quality, farm profitability, or environmental resilience, this is the owner’s manual you’ve been missing. Free on Kindle.

The energies in fertilizers and in the cosmos do not often move needles, but they preside over crop production. As this books shows the reader, through learning to tap and use “life-force energy” it is possible to develop farming practices that are both high-quality and nondestructive to the environment. Since high sugar and mineral levels confer immunity against bacterial, insect and fungal crop destroyers, a complete BRIX chart on crops is included. Andersen’s chapters outline in detail the difference between deadly slow-kill agribusiness farming and farming as it should be. Free on Kindle.

Dr. Paul Dettloff’s Complete Guide to Raising Animals Organically is a hands-on reference for anyone at any level of experience who is interested in helping ruminants achieve optimal health naturally.

During the course of the author’s half-century career he has watched as the natural care of ruminants was lost to the high-tech methods of the modern industrial farm. Hormones, chemicals and manufactured feed replaced the mineral-rich pastures and natural animal care of the past.

He hands over a literal lifetime of learning and observation on how to raise livestock in healthier, more productive, and more humane ways. He teaches how to move from the current conventional veterinary practice of chasing symptoms toward a holistic, sustainable practice that seeks the cause behind the symptoms and values the lives of animals as well as the humans who consume their products.

This book describes the various biological systems in ruminants and how to address issues of health and illness on the farm. Specific natural treatments for numerous chronic illnesses, diseases and injuries are covered in language a layman can understand. Dr. Dettloff provides farmers and veterinarians alike with methods of care that are practical for any farm yet acceptable for certified organic operations and, most important, have been proven to work over time.
