Healthy soil is key to sustaining life on Earth. While more and more people are starting to see the need for soil restoration, there is very little understanding of just how it can be accomplished. There is a rapidly emerging demand for a "how to" manual for soil restoration. Dale Strickler is an expert on building healthy soil and restoring degraded soil, and in The Complete Guide to Restoring Your Soil, he presents the science of soil, along with proven methods of restoring depleted soil and agricultural practices from around the world that continue to build soil, rather than cause it to deteriorate. Strickler provides a solid foundation in the science of healthy soil, explaining how soil has become so degraded over time and the dire consequences for the human species, not just in terms of food scarcity but also the social, health, and environmental consequences of growing food in poor soil. He addresses the chemical, physical, and biological principles behind soil function, and presents actual farming practices that can be used to regenerate soil, techniques and strategies for remediating contaminated soil, and agriculture systems both past and present that functioned to build soil, such as the ancient chinampas systems of Mexico and the permaculture systems of today.

My husband and I are amateur, backyard gardeners. I had been so looking forward to reading Restoring Your Soil as we use the same small plot of ground each year, and worried about depleting its nutrients. I was disappointed not by the lack of information contained in this book, but rather by the over abundance of it. Where I was seeking a step-by-step guide, something easily read and followed, what I discovered was more like a textbook for people with a background in agriculture. Even though the book did not meet my needs, I have rated it four stars because, as far as I am able to understand, I believe the book to be well written for its intended audience.
I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Restoring Your Soil from Storey Publishing via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
