Synopsis
What you feed the soil, youfeed yourself!In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree sharesurgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and themicroscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book willtransform the way you see the ground beneath your feet.During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shockingtruths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil hasbeen fundamentally flawed for over 80 years.While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it becamea priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivitybut have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layerthat nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmunediseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected fromplant and human microbiomes.Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers asolution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had withsoil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces relianceon chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategiespromise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants.This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action foranyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy weleave for generations to come.For more information or to order his other books go to;www.craigcastree.com.au
