Soil Science: Plant Microbe Interactions! (Garden Talk #85)

In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Jeff Lowenfels. Jeff is the author of the award-winning "Teaming With" series of books - Teaming with Microbes, Teaming with Nutrients, Teaming with Fungi, and the brand new Teaming with Bacteria. In this episode he talks about soil science, the soil food web, plant microbe interactions, and several other things that relate to organic gardening. What type of plants do you like to grow? House plants, citrus trees, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, basil, kale, bok choy, let us know in the comments section below. If you enjoyed this video please click that thumbs up button :)
