How long would your family eat if the trucks stopped tonight?

Count it. Most American homes hold about three days of food. The stores behind them — three more. After that, you're standing in a parking lot with a thousand other people who also figured somebody else had a plan.

That's not a movie. That's arithmetic. One storm, one blackout, one bad week at the ports — and it's your kitchen.

Your great-grandparents never worried about any of this. Not because their lives were easier — they were harder — but because they knew how to do things. They got through plagues, droughts, and a Depression that emptied half this country's tables, with no generator, no gadgets, and nobody coming to help.

88 pages on the garden problems that get blamed on soil — and what's actually causing them.

Every chapter runs the same shape: the symptom, what you'll be told, what's actually causing it,the free test that confirms it, and the fix.

27 chapters. Four causes. Every one with the test that confirms it before you spend.:

• Blossom end rot is a water-delivery problem, not calcium — and the free ten-day test that proves it in your own garden · p. 18
• Why afternoon wilting means stop watering— how attentive care kills healthy plants · p. 22
• Four different things cause yellow lower leaves. Three of them get worse if you feed · p. 27
• What "one inch a week" actually means when you're standing there holding a hose · p. 31
• The bean that stopped podding beside the bean that didn't — same bed, same weather window · p. 38
• Purple seedlings aren't short of phosphorus — they're cold, and adding phosphorus can create a real deficiency later · p. 43
• Your lettuce seed wasn't old. It was locked · p. 45
• Spinach bolts on daylength, not heat — which means shade and mulch can't save it · p. 50
• The fertiliser that makes forked carrots worse · p. 59
• Powdery mildew, backwards — the standard advice aims at the wrong target entirely · p. 67
• The five-minute diagnostic — four questions to work through before you buy anything · p. 80
• How to keep the log that makes the rest of this book unnecessary · p. 82

Every chapter ends with a test you can run for free, and a fix that usually doesn't involve buying anything.

Every chapter names the mechanism, cites where the evidence comes from, and ends with a test you can run in your own garden for free. Here's one page.
