Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[<mdnagel@verizon.net>]

Yes, I think that the world needs to know about Haiti.  It's an all to real 
example of what we need to understand such that we don't do the same to our 
soils.  As I mentioned, it seems that this would be an ideal place for some 
real crack soil builders to demonstrate their healing powers.

I didn't intend to suggest that it was thinking that made people eat 
mud cookies. It was the idea of giving one's children whatever would 
fill them up that I was referring to. I hope that doesn't turn out to 
be the same kind of necessity here as it is in Haiti.
