Just looking for stuff to read along the lines of organic gardening. Doesn't necessarily be about weed. Maybe get a little description of book? I've got a couple I'll share too.
Teaming with Microbes by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis. If you are organic you should read and if you are no till or "living soil" you must read. Discusses how the plant controls bacteria, fungus, nematodes and microorganisms and even larger organisms you can see with your eye to get what it needs. After this book you would understand why organic is better and how the chemical fertilizers destroy the means of the plant to take up nutrients which results in a downward spiral of more and more chemicals having to be used to keep that plant aliveand how is very different, much to many folks astonishment and many will still ghasp and call will call me a liar I'm sure, to a plant on where it gets it's nutrients from being organic or chemical. The second part of the book is the practical uses of the information you learned in part 1. Teas, compost, mulch, ect.
Another book if you are an organic grower you have to read is 1 by probably my favorite authors on gardening. Compost everything by David the Good. I'm pretty sure this guy grows weed and if he's on this forum under a diff name I hope he sends me some free autographed books lol. Whole book is about types of uses and making of composts and the misconstrued concept you have to have heat, a certain size pile, finish in 2 weeks, finished in 2 years, got to have arobic and not anerobic bacteria ect to make or use compost. You wont look at your garbage you throw away the same after this book. You can't be organic without compost!
Thanks guys! Looking forward to suggestions! If you have Audible both books are on there and I would only add that you may want to listen to David the Good's book first so when they start talking about the subject in the other book you would have a better understanding of it.
