ECO-FARM AN ACRES U.S.A. PRIMER

ECO-FARM AN ACRES U.S.A. PRIMER
Charles Walters & C.J. Fenzau.

With a new title and a cover facelift, the classic book on ecological agriculture is once again available. If you’ve never read An Acres U.S.A. Primer, you’re missing out. If you would like extra copies for friends or business associates, now you can present them with the deluxe, hardback edition. In this book, eco-agriculture is explained — from the tiniest molecular building blocks to managing the soil — in terminology that not only makes the subject easy to learn, but vibrantly alive. Eco-Farm truly delivers a complete education in soils, crops, and weed and insect control. This should be the first book read by everyone beginning in eco-agriculture . . . and the most shop-worn book on the shelf of the most experienced.
