Try "The Nature and Properties of Soil" by Brady. This is a soil
textbook used at most Ag colleges. I got a used one at a bookstore near
an Ag school- about half price. You may find an older edition for less.
Also "Building Soils for Better Crops, Organic Matter Management" by
Magdoff. A good book about organic matter. First 2/3 is in layman's
terms and the last 1/3 in scientific language.
I've found these both helpful in my understanding of soil. Soil life and
plant/soil relationships is another matter.
