Healthy soil and sustainable growing

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

Good. We welcome all new signups to the discussion. We have everything here
from backyard gardeners to market farmers, researchers, and agricultural
writers. Far as I'm concerned we're all learning - and teaching. I'm
constantly experimenting and learning as a small scale market grower. My
personal view, as you'll see, is that we need a few million more market
growers and home folks growing their own. I want to thank Marty for that
eye-opener today, World May Be Up for A Drastic Shortfall In Food Stocks,
