Reseña del editor:

In Creating Humus on the Farm, compost master Roland Ulrich shares practical, step-by-step methodology to transform barnyard compost to humus. The controlled heat method of composting, compared with other methods, will save time, preserve more nutrients, and ultimately create greater quantities of stable humus to add to your fields. Living humus is the best and most natural way to fertilize soil. Dead chemical fertilizers cause deterioration of the soil which in turn impacts the quality of food production. Loss of humus can lead to soil erosion, water shortages, water pollution, and land loss. Farmers are in a unique position to make invaluable contributions to the health and vitality of our soils, and consequently to the nutrition we receive from our plants and animals. Whether you are already part of the organic agricultural movement or are just starting to explore the real benefits of soil conservation, you have the choice to be a mindful steward of the earth. Creating Humus on the Farm is a uniquely valuable resource.

Biografía del autor:

In addition to his formal education, Roland Ulrich has undertaken extensive study of water and soil. Due to the influence of anthroposophy, he was given the opportunity in 1982 to add biodynamic agriculture to his training in forestry, farming, and ecological conservation. Roland's experiences acquired over the years in Europe, Africa, and the United States bear witness to his expertise and his conviction that in this small book the reader will find the way to produce the "black gold" of humus to nourish the earth.
