Editor's Pick

In this readable, easy-to-understand handbook the authors successfully integrate the diverse techniques and technologies of classical organic farming, Albrecht-style soil fertility balancing, Reams-method soil and plant testing and analysis, and other alternative technologies applicable to commercial-scale agriculture. By understanding all of the available non-toxic tools and when they are effective, you will be able to react to your specific situation and growing conditions. Covers fertility inputs, in-the-field testing, foliar feeding, refractometers, tillage, livestock nutrition, moon cycles and subtle energies, and more. The Non-Toxic Farming Handbook is the result of a lifetime of eco-consulting.

Copyright 1998, 2006, softcover, 236 pages. 32 per case.

essential information

Having worked with Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Skow in the past, I consider this an essential book to keep on the reference shelf of the farm office. It is that relevant and the contents enable one to break free of the 19th century paradigm paralysis that has affected so many farmers.

Great reference for both beginners and experienced

The “Non-Toxic Farming Handbook” is the perfect reference book for beginning farmers and for those wishing to transition to farming practices which are both cheaper and non-poisonous. Its detail on all aspects of soil chemistry and make-up, make it the perfect lunch-time reference and tractor break.

Awesome Sauce!

The table on page 39 absolutely kicked open the door to my understanding of the interaction amoung organic and Non-GMO crops and pests. That table alone, if you apply it correctly, is worth 10,000 Times more than the price of the book. You'll find lots of other nuggets throughout the book as well.
