Healthy soil and sustainable growing

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

Thank you for that link.

 

A brief snippet from my experience might help emphasize my interest in this subject.  I had been studying gardening & food for about 18 months when I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, for which there is no cure.  Let me tell you, "Leukemia" is a word that gets your attention.  Unsurprisingly, my interest in growing food for excellent nutrition ratcheted up a bit.  The generalities and ideas are not too difficult; implementation is quite daunting.

Subject: [Livingontheland] Growing all your own food - nutrition

Honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion on this
subject.  I haven't read Jeavons' book in depth in quite a few years.
While I realize it wants to cover a balanced diet...I wasn't interested
in that back when.  Also, my idea about what is food is different than
his. So basically, you have to figure a lot out for yourself.

One thing that might help people do this is : http://whfoods.org/

There's also a book you can buy with the info in it. It is NOT a cook
book although it does contain some recipes. It is a nutrition and how to
prepare food so it retains most of its nutrition book.  It has been
getting some noise on one of my gardening lists.

Happy Growing,
Morgan
