Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Liz" <liz@allslash.org>]

The people who commented on his article seem to have set him straight pretty 
well.

The stumbling block always seems to be the mistaken idea that large growing 
operations are required. You'd think some of these people would be old 
enough to remember Victory Gardens, or at least remember their parents 
talking about them (or smart enough to have read about them, if nothing 
else). Yet the fallacy persists that the only way to provide adequate food 
for large numbers of people is to grow it at a distance from where it's 
going to be used, grow it in huge monocropped fields, and then transport it 
to the point of consumption (or at least the point of retail sale).
