Dig into the subject of soil without being overwhelmed.
I LOVE soil. Don’t ask me where it comes from, but I think I could have been a soil science major. I just love smelling it, having my hands in it and learning more and more about soil every year. This is not the big textbook on the subject of soil. The authors are really important guys in the study of soil and I feel this is a great way to (no pun intended) dig into the subject of soil without feeling overwhelmed. Every area a landscaper or gardener needs to understand about soil is covered here.

Student Textbook
This encompasses the basic soil science course that I teach at a community college. Simple and straight forward. I teach horticulture and this has some focus on agronomy however we are all excited about soil!
