Restoring Your Soil: A Complete Guide for Improved Water, Microorganisms, and Carbon Capture

Healthy soil is the key to sustaining life on Earth. In The Complete Guide to Restoring Your Soil, Dale Strickler, an expert on building healthy soil and restoring degraded soil, presents the science of soil, along with proven methods of restoring depleted soil and agricultural practices from around the world that continue to build soil, rather than cause it to deteriorate.

While more and more people are starting to see the need for soil restoration, there is very little understanding of just how it can be accomplished. Strickler provides a solid foundation in the science of healthy soil, explaining how soil has become so degraded over time and the dire consequences for the human species, not just in terms of food scarcity but also the social, health, and environmental consequences of growing food in poor soil.

The book addresses the chemical, physical, and biological principles behind soil function, and presents actual farming practices that can be used to regenerate soil, techniques and strategies for remediating contaminated soil, and agriculture systems both past and present that functioned to build soil, such as the ancient chinampas systems of Mexico and the permaculture systems of today.

There is a rapidly emerging demand for a "how to" manual for soil restoration, and Strickler's book fills that need. By understanding the science behind soil health and the practical methods for restoring it, readers can take action to improve the quality of the soil in their own gardens, farms, or communities.

The importance of healthy soil cannot be overstated. It is the foundation of all life on Earth, providing the nutrients, water, and habitat that plants, animals, and humans depend on. As the global population continues to grow and the demand for food increases, it is crucial that we find ways to restore and maintain the health of our soil.

Strickler's book is a comprehensive and accessible guide that empowers readers to take an active role in soil restoration. By learning about the science and practical techniques outlined in the book, individuals can make a real difference in the health of their local environment and contribute to the global effort to sustain life on our planet.

Overall, The Complete Guide to Restoring Your Soil is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding and improving the health of the soil upon which we all depend. It provides a roadmap for reversing the degradation of our soil and building a more sustainable future for generations to come.
