Ive been an artisian soaper for over seven years. I found this book wonderful! Very well written with up-to-date information. The essential oil section is especially useful for knowing which essential oils that come through in cold process or hot process soap. I had to learn most of this the hard way through trial and error, and spending alot of money on research.There is so much information in this book that was very well researched and a great benefit to the soap maker at any lev...

“Gets deep into the weeds, so to speak, of the microscopic architecture of plants and the biochemical processes at play.” —Washington PostMost gardeners realize that plants need to be fed, but many of us know little about the nature of the science involved. In Teaming with Nutrients, Jeff Lowenfels explains the basics of plant nutrition from an organic gardener’s perspective. In his trademark down-to-earth, style, Lowenfels explains the role of bo...

Weak plants, poor yields, and conflicting soil advice? The solution starts underground.Healthy gardens are built on living, balanced soil. Soil Science for Gardeners explains how soil truly functions so you can grow stronger plants, improve yields, and reduce costly guesswork.When you understand soil biology, chemistry, and structure, you stop chasing quick fixes and start building long-term fertility.What You'll Gain

Bioplastics is one of those areas that the home inventor has the advantage. The raw materials are cheap, readily available and easy to work with. There has been relatively little study done so far as the field is still quite new and there are a significant amount of discoveries to be made.What you have to realise here is that you are not attempting to synthesise polymers from monomers or synthesis new monomers. What you are trying to do is source and extract existing polymers from b...

This collection of essays reveals a carefully organized and convincing explanation by Albrecht about the interconnection between soil, plants and animals – that everything is related to everything else. In these papers Albrecht reveals the importance of the balance equation, that it isn’t enough to have nutrient to soil connections, it is the ratio of one element to another that counts. Albrecht’s insight further reveals that an ounce of prevention in the form of balanced plant nutrition f...
