Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Steve Diver <steved@ipa.net>]

Can you clarify what you are concluding from the Firman Bear
study at Rutgers?

Bear was a famous soil scientist, but never conducted
research on organic vs conventional.   His study dealt
with mineral content of vegetables based on geography
and soil type.
