GUIDE TO MICROBIAL PREPARATIONS AND FERMENTED PRODUCTS FOR BIOAGRICULTURE

Dettagli

Whether you have a small family garden or a full-fledged farm, whether you practice organic, biodynamic, permaculture, or regenerative organic agriculture, you always end up needing fertilizers and plant protection products.

And it often involves a significant expense, because natural products are much more expensive than synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.

In addition to the economic aspect, the environmental impact related to production and transportation must also be considered.

So what can be done to resolve this obvious paradox faced by those who choose clean agriculture? In these pages, Nigel Palmer suggests a very simple solution: self-production.

Drawing on his long experience as a farmer and the knowledge gained from his training as an engineer, the author presents a long series of recipes for preparing mineral and microbial soil improvers, the use of which increases the biological activity of the soil and the availability of minerals for plants.

All this translates into an increase in the plants' resistance to pests and diseases, and an increase in yields and the nutritional value of vegetables.

The text includes insights into plant-soil interactions, instructions for monitoring soil health, and how to extract minerals from plant or animal waste.

It also offers valuable insights into composting, cover crops, mulching, and other aspects of sustainable gardening, making this book an indispensable resource for anyone interested in improving their production.
