[Heide Hermary <heidehermary@pacificcoast.net>]

There are two books I just finished reading, that really broadened my 
mind.  There you will find the information you are looking for, together 
with research on every one of the BD claims AND MORE:
"Secrets of the Soil' and
"The Secret Life of Plants"

Right now I've just kind of absorbed the info, can't say I've integrated 
much of it yet.  It really brings together BD, permaculture, organic 
practices....
