The Art and Science of Composting by Ehrenfried E. Pfeiffer
Observations and testing methods; pamphlet
I wanted to learn from this, hoping going back to one of Pfeiffer's earlier works would be more basic. Not so. It's a bit rambling, and very didactic. He put a lot of effort into performing various experiments to prove the benefits of biodynamics, but that didn't really help me in putting it into practice. Some mention of different plants reflecting the condition of the soil, but those were scattered throughout and seemed to be mostly European plants, so not useful in the USA.
