Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["E. E. Mitchamore Jr" <emitch@att.net>]

I had to laugh!  This resonated with me.  True, we do need to aspire to very high ideals, but the everyday compromises we make are much more important to reality.  "More" organic matter is almost always desirable, but we are spending too much time on the issue if we seek to define the PERFECT percentage.  The world needs too much for that kind of obsession.

How do you describe healthy soil?  Where is the defining line between a
healthy and unhealthy soil and what is the grey area between?  Numbers,
characteristics, or is it a race without a finish line?  Is a crop healthy
because it has no bugs or disease or is a crop without bugs or disease
because it is healthy and is the absence of bugs and disease the only
defining line to healthy crops?
