Our host Edie Tanem this mornin interviews prolific author (and ready talker!) Jeff Lowenfels.  Jeff, a resident of Alaska and grower of enormous cabbages, has a series of gardening books that have titles starting with "Teaming with...".  His latest is Teaming with Bacteria: The Organic Gardeners Guide to Endophytic Bacteria and the Rhizophagy Cycle -- a title that Jeff readily admits is designed to roll right off the tongue, but the books comprise the state-of-the-art in soil science in the "no till gardening" movement.

Towards the end of the hour we managed to squeeze in a couple of callers with questions for Edie and her guest, as well!
