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.

Very happy with the book

Full of information and easy to remember rules to charge into regenerative gardening or ideas to expand regenerative agriculture.

I thought the book was informative and definitely in-depth and improved my understanding considerably.
The narrator was ok but lack of pictures, tables and lists (obviously available in the book) made some elements difficult

The authors really know their stuff

Brilliantly informative. Think I’ll buy my dad a copy and him off those synthetics! It really is a fascinating subject and this book walks you through the microbial network and how it all works as well as how to help it along and make the changes you need to have your soil team with life to give all your vegetation the best conditions to thrive in. Highly recommend!
