Happy Friday all!
I just reread this book. He uses a lot of reference items in the book: soil recipes, layering. etc. Lots of good useful information on living soil.
I photographed each graphic then compiled them into one reference document for easy and quick usage. I planned to upload it here but the file is too large and I dont remember how to compress a pdf. I am happy to forward it to you via email.
Hope it’s useful to everyone.

Honestly, not my favorite book on LOS. He over complicates stuff and I totally disagree with his spikes and layers concepts. That being said, it is a quick and easy read.
The old “no-till” threads on ICMag and GrassCity are dense, but full of information and references. I prefer these recipes and methods developed with Clackamass Coots.
He does make it a bit complicated. I’m making a plan for a stripped-down version soon. Of course I don’t agree with his ideas completely.
Where this book and others have helped me is in terms of viewing the plant and medium as a partnership. The interaction of each component is very cool.
Like most old goats, I grew up with the notion of Planting, watering, and harvesting. I love the holistic nature of living soil.

I remember that book. It gave me a few concepts I still use. I like to layer my soil, with a P heavy lower layer to feed as the plant gets to flowering. It taught me more about the network between mycorhyzzial fungi, bacteria, the ingredients of the soil, and the plant and how the plants actually gets nutrients to it than I had previously known.
Check out Teeming with Microbes by Jeff Lowenfels then. He goes into the science behind living soil.
