Build better soil. Grow better food.

Soil and Fertility is a practical beginner's guide to understanding, testing, and improving the living ground every productive garden depends on. Written for home gardeners and small homesteaders, it explains how soil structure, organic matter, pH, nutrients, biology, mulch, compost, cover crops, compaction, drainage, and long-term fertility work together.

Inside, you'll learn why good soil is roughly half pore space, why texture cannot be changed but structure can, how to read soil tests, when to amend and when to wait, how to build organic matter without overdoing it, and how to avoid common mistakes like adding sand to clay, working wet soil, or importing contaminated manure or compost. This book keeps the focus practical: test first, build slowly, protect the soil you have, and create fertility that compounds season after season.
