I've just added a new discussion that list many of the books I recommend, as I'm often asked that question: http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/group/organic/forum/topics/books
As for your question about “which plants add what to the soil”, it is a good one, and it depends both on what is in the soil and the environmental conditions. I'll think it over as far as recommending a book. (let me know how basic or advanced you are thinking of). Farmer Walter H may also have a recommendation.
You might also consider joining one of our local alternative currency exchange group at http://fourthcornerexchange.com/ for ways to exchange your skills and connect with the abundance our local community has to share.
I've sent you an invite to the Organic Gardener's....Pemaculturist online
group I started on TW:
