Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Weeds — Control Without Poisons demonstrates the necessity in agriculture today for a more holistic, eco-centered perspective. The author explains what 50 years of deadly chemicals have already done to our soil and our bodies, demonstrating that this process does not work in any long-term commonsense agricultural system and offering alternatives to chemicals. Charles Walters explores the workings of soil ecosystems and provides specifics on a host of weeds — why they grow, what soil conditions spur them on or stop them, what they say about your soil, and how to control them without the obscene presence of poisons.

Reseña del editor:

Low biological activity is inherent in each weed problem ... Each weed is keyed to a specific environment slotted for its proliferation. So says Weeds Control Without Poisons author Charles Walters. Further, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other elements in equilibrium are likely to roll back more weeds than all the available herbicides on the market. Specifics on a hundred weeds, why they grow, what soil conditions spur them on or stop them, what they say about your soil, and how to control them without the obscene presence of poisons. All cross-referenced by scientific and various common names, and a pictorial glossary.
