Earth Repair: A Grassroots Guide to Healing Toxic and Damaged Landscapes

I am very impressed and excited by this book. The information is wide-ranging and comprehensive, and the results in my garden have been impressive. Those plants treated with the combination of compost and micorryzae, are literally four times the size of the others, they stand bolt upright, have more color and a more juicy-looking appearance, and are fast-growing. We look forward to the harvest! This book may address the topic of toxic remediation, but in the end it really is a book about soil and plant health, sum total. The reader will be empowered in so many ways that probably most organic farmers know nothing about. It also is very heartening to know that we can remediate acutely toxic conditions such as oil spills, heavy metals in the soil, use mycorrhyzae to block the toxic uptake by plants, and much more...all by organic means and as backed by the science quoted in this wonderful book. Since soil and water tests nation-wide show higher-than-normal levels of aluminum (Said a local Public Health official), we all can benefit from the information. I would love to see this book in all healthfood stores, gardening stores, after-school gardening classes/school PTA newsletters, farmer's markets, nation-wide. Highly recommended! (PS I have zero connections, no affiliation, no employment or other special interests at heart. My post is purely independent and from the heart. I hope many people benefit from this book. Congratulations to Leila Darwish for writing such a helpful and informative book, quoting the top-level scientists and specialists in the area of soil/water remediation!)

I sped through reading this book. It gives me hope for how we can deal with contaminated lands while also talking frankly about what some of the limitations are. I immediately passed it on to someone else and will probably buy a few more copies to share with our community. With so many hazardous sites we can’t wait for the powers that be to decide to clean them up. This book offers some easy solutions to how we can take the effort into our owns hands.

Once we all have our birthright to a fair share of cost/tax-free land & water then we can really move ahead with repairing the Earth, until then this very good book will not be usable to a significant degree (while most land is controlled/owned by the rich few). The worst environmental damage is the result of government and corporations working destructively together, hence we need sovereign veganic homestead communities to really begin and sustain Earth Repair.

the write of this book really did her homework,researching all the current and brightest minds in the field of earth repair with natural and clever techniques.If you are interested in bio remediation,then you have found a scholarly work but not stuffy.It is a living humorous work well presented to any reader.

great book!
