Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

With all the recent talk among NGOs about carbon sequestration through 
organic or no-till methods, I had to repost this from our list, from Lynn 
Montgomery - note the date: 12/7/2005.

   The term of carbon being tied up and stored in dead organic matter is now 
called "sequestration".  Sequestering carbon is going to be, and already is, 
part of the whole global warming remediation effort. Organic farming helps 
the situation. Anything that uses organic products for long times, such as 
building with lumber, helps to tie up carbon and take advantage of one of 
Mother Nature's processes to bring atmospheric carbon into balance. Some of 
the answers to the global warming dilemma are found in agriculture, with 
organic soil management being the foundation.
