Acres USA just reprinted F. Newman Turner's books, Herdsmanship,
Fertility Farming, Fertility Pastures and his veterinary pamphlet.

<www.acresusa.com>

The ideas and methods published there will reinforce all the good ideas we have had and give some real 'aha!' moments to us all. The idea of rebuilding fertility in farmed out land is so pertinent today. He did it all without a chemical at all. He fed the land and the microorganisms living therein.

Check out Acres USA. Pricey books at $30 or so each. Worth the investment from the knowledge gained from a few pages.

They are also available from an Australian site for downloads free of charge. <http://www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibrary/01aglibwelcome.html>

Worm castings are not the worm itself, but their product of

well. . . .because it was created to do so. Worms already fertilize
the earth this way without any 'help' from man.




So do animal carcasses, including in some cases fish (which are pulled onto land by bears, among others). Death is part of the natural system, and essential to its fertility.
