Teaming with Nutrients: The Organic Gardener's Guide to Optimizing Plant Nutrition by Lowenfels, Jeff

​"Gets deep into the weeds, so to speak, of the microscopic architecture of plants and the biochemical processes at play." --Washington Post

Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed, but many of us know little about the nature of the science involved. In Teaming with Nutrients, Jeff Lowenfels explains the basics of plant nutrition from an organic gardener's perspective. In his trademark down-to-earth, style, Lowenfels explains the role of both macronutrients and micronutrients and shows gardeners how to provide these essentials through organic, easy-to-follow techniques. Along the way, Lowenfels provides easy-to-grasp lessons in the biology, chemistry, and botany needed to understand how nutrients get into the plant and what they do once they're inside.
