Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Harvey Ussery <harvey@themodernhomestead.us>]

I agree with Paul. One of my editors sent me a copy of Steve Solomon's 
book, and the title made it look "right down my ally." With Paul, I was 
hugely disappointed--in every way--from the disconnect the Amazon 
reviewers noted ("hard times"?--with all that purchased input?)--to his 
know-it-all tone--to his insufferable stance toward the reader ("Now I 
know you've been told/*everybody* says xxx but Grandaddy Steve's gonna 
tell you the real scoop here").

I salute Steve for his excellent work making available some great 
literature in his Soil and Health site, but be advised that this book is 
a complete waste of time.
