About this listen
When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.
This must-have guide is for everyone, from those devoted to organic gardening techniques to weekend gardeners who simply want to grow healthy plants without resorting to chemicals.

Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits behind climate change and desertification. But Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, begs to differ. The bigger problem, he warns, is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not the problem; it's how we graze livestock. If we don't change the way we approach land management, irreparable harm from climate change could continue long after we replace fossil fuels.

Have you ever desired, deep within your soul, to make a comfortable full-time living from a farming enterprise? Too often people dare not even vocalize this desire because it seems absurd. It's like thinking the unthinkable. After all, the farm population is dwindling. It takes too much capital to start. The pay is too low. The working conditions are dusty, smelly and noisy: Not the place to raise a family. This is all true, and more, for most farmers.

The bestselling fitness book for men who want to gain 25-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose as much fat or more in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts. Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? No. Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? Absolutely not.

Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits behind climate change and desertification. But Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, begs to differ. The bigger problem, he warns, is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not the problem; it's how we graze livestock. If we don't change the way we approach land management, irreparable harm from climate change could continue long after we replace fossil fuels.

Wonderful, the beginning of all
I believe this book helps me to better understand the importance of my personal garden within, the gut. Feed your garden within with microbes and fiber and and they will take care of you. Eat your greens and a large variety of fruits and vegetables. Your compost tea is kind of like eating fermented vegetables that you've made yourself. This book was great.

Must read for aspiring organic gardeners
Jeff Lowenfels books are an absolute must read for anybody who is interested in organic gardening and growing your own food. i cant recommend it enough. Jeff did a great job of presenting the information in an easily understandable manner, yet its very in depth and you'll learn not just about organic gardening techniques but the intricacies of the soil food web. It must be noted that this book is the first in a series. He wrote Teaming with Microbes, then Teaming with Nutrients, and then Teaming with Fungii(which I'm not sure if its available on here yet but Teaming with Nutrients is), and these books should be read or listened to in that order as he goes progressively more in depth about the soil food web with each book.
