Just as Teaming with Microbes introduced readers to the soil food web, Teaming with Bacteria will introduce the latest research on endophytic bacteria and rhizophagy—discoveries that have profound implications for the practices of home gardeners and small-scale growers.

In Teaming with Microbes, Jeff Lowenfels revealed the fascinating facts around the soil food web, all the tiny organisms that live in soil and aid a plants growth. In Teaming with Nutrients, he explored how those organisms aid in the uptake of nutrients. And in Teaming with Fungi, he detailed the symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi—the most important organism living in the soil.
 
In his new book Teaming with Bacteria, Lowenfels digs into the new science behind how endophytic bacteria supply nutrients to a large array of plants and explains, in accessible language, how this information applies to home gardeners, small-scale farmers, and cannabis growers. Based on cutting-edge science that will help gardeners increase plant health and productivity, Teaming with Bacteria is a must-have addition to every organic gardener’s library.

Key Points:

1. NEW SCIENCE MADE ACCESSIBLE: Teaming with Bacteria will introduce gardeners and growers to new research that until now has been restricted to academic publications. Jeff has a talent for translating complex science into reader-friendly terms and concepts.
2. FOR A WIDE AUDIENCE: In addition to home gardeners, small-market farmers and cannabis growers (both at home and in larger-scale settings) will benefit from the content.
