Keterangan
Meski buku ini tergolong sepuh, tetapi buku ini menjelaskan banyak hal, utamanya bahan organik. Organic matter atau bahan organik tanah telah sejak dahulu kala menjadi kunci untuk kesuburan tanah dan produktivitas tanaman. Pada tahun-tahun prasejarah, populasi nomaden bergerak menuju daerah sekitarnya untuk mencari tempat di mana mereka bisa menetap dan mereka memilih tanah yang paling produktif. Tanah yang paling produktif pada saat itu dimaknai sebagai tanah dengan kandungan bahan organik yang tinggi, meskipun mereka mungkin tidak mengakui fakta ini. Mereka hampir tidak tahu sama sekali mengenai apa itu bahan organik tanah, fungsinya, cara memelihara atau mendapatkan manfaat dari bahan organik. Dengan perkembangan zaman yang semakin modern, ilmu pengetahuan yang semakin membuka tabir rahasia alam, maka ditemukanlah material yang disebut bahan organik. Dan di buku inilah kita akan mendapatkan banyak ilmu mengenai bahan organik.
