And you should be. Among other things, Jesse is a farmer, writer (sometimes for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/author\/jesse-frost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hobby Farms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and host of the &#8220;No-Till Market Garden Podcast.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He\u2019s now also the author of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Living Soil Handbook<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, his forthcoming, highly-anticipated book on no-till farming. And, after reading it, I can say that all of the anticipation was justified.\u00a0 Perhaps even inadequate.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The book promises to be indispensable for new and experienced no-till growers, or even those who are just no-till curious.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/organic-no-till\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Can no-till and organic co-exist? Yes! Click to learn more.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Why No Till?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, why read a book about no-till farming at all? Jesse has some answers.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As he explains, no-till farming is fundamentally about improving your farm\u2019s ecological health, starting with the soil itself. The more we understand soil science (which we\u2019re really only beginning to), the more it becomes clear that traumatic soil disturbance disrupts the biology at work underground. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This, in turn, impacts the health of your crops and your farm.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>A Collaborative Project<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of what makes no-till market gardening so exciting today is its collaborative spirit.\u00a0 Although indigenous people practiced many of the tenets of no-till farming for thousands of years, modern agriculture has largely overlooked these principles.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, no-till market gardeners are in constant process of trial and error to create new growing methods for their farms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Living Soil Handbook<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fully embodies this collaborative feeling.\u00a0 Throughout the book Jesse draws on the experiences of other no-till farmers, many of whom he\u2019s interviewed on his podcast.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond that, he\u2019s also not shy about detailing his own failures (and successes) trialing various no-till strategies. All of this adds up to create a book that introduces you to no-till market gardening as it really is: fluid, experimental and collaborative.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/how-to-stop-tilling-your-garden-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here&#8217;s how you can switch to a no-till garden today.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>A Scientific Grounding<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing that makes <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Living Soil Handbook <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">unique is the amount of science it draws on. But not the dry kind of science that makes you want to skip the rest of the chapter.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather, Jesse is adept at mentioning the scientific literature without being heavy-handed.<\/span><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of scientific grounding feels fitting for a book on no-till growing.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The case for no-till principles is, after all, a scientific one: that minimal soil disturbance is better for soil health than more disruptive practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Altogether, the scientific background that Jesse provides throughout the book feels like its building to an important (but subtle) point: Knowing and caring about the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of farming is actually extremely important.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it is, in fact, part of what separates the good growers from the mediocre ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Detailed Roadmap<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many things to like about the book. The illustrations by Hannah Crabtree (Jesse\u2019s wife) are, for instance, near the top of the list.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, perhaps the book\u2019s largest offering is the amount of detail it provides on specific no-till practices. Reading this book will, in short, provide you with an incredibly detailed map to no-till growing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Jesse acknowledges, though, not everything that he\u2019s worked out in the book will apply directly to your farm. In fact, it probably won\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Soil types vary, as do climatic conditions, market-demand and just about everything else on a farm.\u00a0 But what <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Living Soil Handbook<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will do is provide you with a place to begin and a well-informed understanding of where you might go from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy the book. Your farm (or garden) will thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Living Soil Handbook&#8221; by Jesse Frost provides a detailed introduction to no-till vegetable farming, from the benefits to your land to the science at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":363,"featured_media":88020,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,10458],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beginning-farmers","category-farm-garden"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Living Soil Handbook: A Book for No-Till Growers - Hobby Farms<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;The Living Soil Handbook&quot;
