The keys to a living soil. How to improve the soil in your garden?

Discover the life that teems in your soil!

Soil has a unique characteristic: it links the living - the organic world - and the inert - the mineral world.

This link between the organic and mineral worlds is the key to the fertility of our gardens, and it's living beings that ensure it, from the smallest, invisible to the naked eye (bacteria, fungi) to the largest (insects, earthworms, etc.). So, at any given moment, billions of living beings are at work beneath our feet, discreet craftsmen guaranteeing the soil's vitality. Getting to know them better is an essential asset for the gardener.

This book will help you discover who they are and what they do, and how they contribute to the growth and health of plants. It then gives you the keys to working and nourishing the soil, so that plants find everything they need in sufficient but not excessive quantities.

Thanks to the wide range of techniques on offer (green manures, composts, mulches, RCW, manures, etc.), you'll be able to choose the solutions best suited to your garden. Finally, a technical booklet looks in depth at the main agronomic aspects of soil functioning and fertilization.

A brilliant and pragmatic demonstration of the relationship between soil life and the gardener's work, in an accessible and well-illustrated popular work.
