In this week's episode of the podcast John chats with Jeff Lowenfels who is the author of a new book “Teaming with Bacteria” described as The Organic Gardener’s Guide to Endophytic Bacteria and the Rhizoghagy Cycle”  

Now this sounds quite scientific but when you hear about bacteria and the function, they have in the soil then you will begin to understand why it is so important to nurture them so that you can reap their benefits. 

Jeff’s other books all under the Teaming with series include Teaming with Microbes, Teaming with Nutrients, and Teaming with Fungi.  

In this episode you will hear all about how these mighty garden friends can help you in your garden. What is clear when you are promoting the soil food web in your garden. Through mulching, compost adding and especially using no dig gardening you are providing all your plants need. The microbes, fungi, and bacteria become your garden friends and will provide so many benefits many of which you cannot even know until you see it.  

Benefits such as higher yield, healthier more resilient plants, and super healthy soil. So, it is becoming clear to me, and I hope to you that we need to nurture our soil to start getting the benefits in our gardens.  

Interestingly Jeff is also the longest serving garden columnist in North America so get his books the Teaming With series of books. For more information you can find Jeff here.
