Which gets me back to the connection with John Hamaker and his book,
The Survival of Civilization. His emphasis was on remineralizing the
soil as glaciers have done. Only by remineralizing can there be many
and healthy plants. NPK just doesn't get the job done.
Imagine the high cost of food if all costs were calculated, including
keeping soil at optimal organic and mineral levels.
