What you feed the soil, you feed yourself! In his riveting new book, Soil is Not A Dirty Word, Craig Castree shares urgent insights into the symbiotic relationships between plants and the microscopic worlds of bacteria and fungi that sustain them. This book will transform the way you see the ground beneath your feet. During his three-year dive down the rabbit hole to discover the shocking truths hidden in soil, Castree discovered that our understanding of soil has been fundamentally flawed for over 80 years. While soil might not be the typical topic of conversation, it’s time it became a priority. Modern agricultural practices promised increased productivity but have instead led to diminishing returns. Our topsoil—the thin layer that nourishes the planet—erodes at an alarming rate, and autoimmune diseases rise as the soil microbiome becomes more disconnected from plant and human microbiomes. Soil is Not A Dirty Word goes beyond just sounding the alarm, it offers a solution after solution to the problems most of us never knew we had with soil. With a regenerative approach that revitalises the soil, reduces reliance on chemical inputs, and restores its nutrient density, Castree’s strategies promise to revolutionise edible gardening, farming, and growing food plants. This isn’t just a manual for gardeners and farmers—this is a call to action for anyone concerned about our planet’s future, our health, and the legacy we leave for generations to come.

Two words saved my life, two modest, but mighty words—THANK YOU! The most compelling chapter of my story began with a Love Note, one simple handwritten gesture of love, hope and gratitude. My purpose was handed to me in the shape of an envelope, a simple, paper container with a sealable flap that holds a little bit of hope for our everyday heroes. As it turned out, a life of stationery was my destiny, not a stationary life. And it all began on the heels of a broken heart. For the better part of my life, I dreamed of and even prayed for an epic love story, and this is a love story on so many levels. I just never expected it to come at such a great toll. But then again, if you look back through the course of history, the greatest love stories always do. Natalie June Reilly is a freelance writer and every bit her mother's daughter. She is the founder of Nothing but Love Notes, a movement that has inspired a generation of love and gratitude. Somewhere along the way, she unearthed her happy ending, landing the beach, the boy and now the book. None of this would have been possible, if not for God's grace, a mother's love and a handwritten Love Note.Ver libro
