Hi Saneters,
I wanted to briefly get back to this point for clarification. I have a high regard for the SARE publication "Building Soils for Better Crops" by Univ of Vt plant and soil professor emeritus Fred Magdoff and Cornell University soil science professor Harold van Es.
"Building Soils for Better Crops", now in it's 3rd edition, is a valuable book for farmers and gardeners and may be purchased from SARE or downloaded free at: www.sare.org/publications/soils.htm.

Building Soils for Better Crops is a one-of-a-kind, practical guide to ecological soil management, now expanded and in full color. It provides step-by-step information on soil-improving practices as well as in-depth background—from what soil is to the importance of organic matter. Case studies of farmers from across the country provide inspiring examples of how soil—and whole farms—have been renewed through these techniques. A must-read for farmers, educators and students alike.

Written by University of Vermont plant and soil science professor emeritus Fred Magdoff and Cornell University soil science professor Harold van Es. Produced by Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE).
