Synopsis
Gain insight into the nature and character of soil, its composition, and the countless ways it underpins our lives. Many people may overlook the vast importance and complexity of soil, viewing it only as a superficial layer of earth, and may not realize it's an intricate, dynamic, and teeming ecosystem. This book shares the author's extensive soil knowledge, gained from years of studying and teaching horticulture at the Michigan Agricultural College. Intriguing topics discussed include soil builders like lichens and worms and the work of water in eroding and building soil. It delves into the nature and composition of soil, exploring the significance of its texture, weight, and the minerals it contains. There are fascinating insights into the relationship between soil and water, and the role of soil in promoting fertility. Tillage, an essential agricultural practice, is explored, and the book uncovers its impact on weeds, water retention, and soil fertility. The author draws on expert opinions from soil scientists across the United States to provide valuable regional perspectives on topics such as irrigation, drainage, green manuring, and the use of commercial fertilizers. The wisdom contained within this classic text has stood the test of time, providing valuable guidance that will help modern readers maximize soil health and productivity while protecting it from erosion and depletion for future generations.
