Synopsis

Rethinking how to grow crops by going deeper into the soil. This nonfiction guide examines a radical idea: deepen soil health and moisture storage by treating the subsoil, not just the surface. It presents a practical view of how roots access water, air, and nutrients at greater depths to improve yields and resilience.

< p>Through clear explanations and historical context, this edition shows how farmers can rethink cultivation, drainage, and water management. It argues that deeper, informed soil alteration can make farming possible across many regions and seasons, with the goal of steadier, more productive crops.




  • How subsoil treatment can unlock deeper root growth and better drought resistance.

  • Ways to improve drainage, moisture retention, and soil tilth for higher yields.

  • Practical considerations for deep tillage, soil structure, and long‑term soil health.

  • Discussion of erosion control and water management to protect topsoil.



Ideal for readers of agricultural history and practitioners curious about soil science and new farming methods.

Product Description

Excerpt from Vertical Farming

The Part Played by Water. - Much rock material is slowly dissolved out and carried away by rain water. This is usually carried long distances before being thrown back into a solid state by the evaporation of the water, or by coming into con tact with some other substance that causes it to be precipitated. Often this reforms into another rock that may be harder than the original one.
