There's a quote we've all seen--some of you on the list have used it as a tag line/signature: "Civilization depends on four inches of topsoil and the fact that it rains"--something to that effect.
Would someone kindly point me to the exact wording and the source of that quote. I'm writing a piece for Mother Earth News about soil building/nurture, and am considering leading with that quote.
Many thanks.
