Ask the Plant: Soil Fertility, Plant Analysis & Crop Nutrition by Charles Walters

Ask the Plant, based on the agronomy of K. Chandler, offers farmers and growers a better way to grow plants that involves reading the unique language of plants, utilizing leaf and petiole testing, and in turn knowing how to produce a better crop using only the fertilizers and soil-building ingredients that are truly needed, when they are most needed.

Instead of following the decades-old conventional model where plants are given copious amounts of soluble nitrogen fertilizers aimed to force-feed the landscape green, Ask the Plant addresses how to build a healthy soil without excessive inputs.

After more than seven decades of soils being mined not replenished, especially of organic matter and minerals - it is time to Ask the Plant and find out what our crops and soils are really telling us so we can produce a better crop using only what is truly needed.
