Media Reviews
If you really want to get a sense of how little we know about how plants use fertilizers -- and I count myself in this league -- you should read Teaming with Nutrients, which gets deep into the weeds, so to speak, of the microscopic architecture of plants and the biochemical processes at play. --The Washington Post

Useful and practical information on soil testing, natural and synthetic fertilizers, factors influencing availability of nutrients, and the importance of proper fertilizing. --Pacific Horticulture

Lowenfels offers everyone else a crash course in discovering soil structure, fertility, and microbial actions powerful enough to turn a dry wash into a productive source of clean, slow, organically grown food, without a single bag of potting soil. --The Desert Sun

Lowenfels offers a deeper understanding of the major and minor plant nutrients and delivers the necessary science in a conversational style that most gardeners will appreciate. --The Monterey County Herald

You'll never garden the same old way again. --Muskogee Phoenix

Colorful illustrations, plentiful and readable diagrams, and a well-executed chapter structure make this an indispensable resource. --Publishers Weekly
