Summary
Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little to nothing about the nature of the nutrients involved or how they get into plants. Teaming with Nutrients explains how nutrients move into plants and what both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients do once inside. It shows organic gardeners how to provide these essentials. To fully explain how plants eat, Lowenfels uses his ability to make science accessible with lessons in biology, chemistry, and botany that all gardeners need to know to understand how nutrients get to the plant and what they do once they're inside it.
Teaming with Nutrients will open your eyes to the importance of understanding the role of nutrients in healthy, productive organic gardens, and it will show you how these nutrients do their jobs. In short, it will make you a better informed, more successful, and more environmentally responsible gardener.

Factalicious
Well worth a listen as full of information - I’ll be revisiting multiple times I’m sure. Not sure it fully meets what I thought was its objective, to let you know how to fertilise - spends a long time on details of how plants work and what different elements do inside them, etc - admittedly fascinating but I don’t know how relevant when the take-home message is “get your soil tested, follow the arising recommendations” - and then he proceeds to give fertiliser options that do more than address specific deficiencies, which seems a little against the point of testing if you’re then going to add in potentially superfluous things. Maybe I didn’t quite get it. To be honest the narrator was so hard to listen to I did tune out a lot. He is listenable if you get in the right zone but the staccato delivery and occasional mispronunciations really let it down. Eg what’s an “anthropod”? Or “glysophate”? Annoying because it reminds you the person reading doesn’t know the subject matter, and the magic is lost.
Despite my grumbles I would recommend it for its very interesting information. Maybe better to buy in print.

poor narration
I'm sure the book is great but it's almost impossible to listen to the narrator without switching off. It also seems that the narrator does not understand the subject, incorrect inflections for most words make this difficult to follow. My suggestion is buy yourself the book and save a credit. I will try to return.
