The Mikhail System In Print
Ted Mikhail has invested 45 years of his life into Soil Science research and development of a genuinely sustainable and fully integrated 'Whole system' method of soil management - "The Mikhail System", which has now been fully documented and published in an easy-to-read 56-page book. Agents may sell this book and receive a commission of $10 per copy or purchase the book (minimum 50 copies) for resale at a wholesale price of $22 per copy (plus freight). "The Mikhail System - Balanced Management for Productive Soils" has been produced specifically for use by farmers, rather than just students or academics and easily provides a straightforward, stepwise method for improving and maintaining soil for continued productivity - even in the face of present Climate Change concerns. This is because it works with the way soils function (taking into account all three facets of soil structure & friability, nutrients and soil biology), instead of just relying on 'Rules-of-Thumb' for fertiliser application alone. "The Mikhail System - Balanced Management for Productive Soils" is available for $90.00 (including GST and postage), but until the end of September is also available FREE with any Complete Soil Balance test - the only soil test in the World that uses The Mikhail System to manage structure, nutrients and biology together. For more details about this offer, please see our earlier Agent Update. The Mikhail System shows that there are only Five Steps to improving any soil for better plant growth, nutrient availability and moisture retention. Follow these five steps and get reliable results on any soil, anywhere in the World.
