Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["TradingPostPaul" <tradingpost@riseup.net>]

Now and then we repost our list description. Actually a wide range of
subtopics related to Living On The Land.

Intensive, organic soil building is basic to growing much more in less
space with better nutrition, more profitable growing through less bought
inputs, less need for water, fewer losses from pests and disease, and less
vulnerability to fossil fuel problems now or in the future. What ways this
can best be pursued in different soils and climates leaves a lot of room
for discussion. We deal with the widespread problems of loss of soil
minerals, humus, nutritional content of produce, and loss of topsoil
itself, as well as the cost-price squeeze faced by real organic growers,
the shrinking supply of affordable land for growing and irrigation water,
and the need to increase the supply of nutritious food while making healthy
food more affordable in general. Our generation cannot continue to plunder
the soil capital of future generations.

We include sustainable food growing from home garden to market garden,
fruits, nuts, berries, fungi, and vegetables, in addition to food animals.

Living On The Land is not a commercial forum for profit promotions, nor a
chat forum, and is sensibly moderated to ensure discussions are related to
the topic.
