I haven’t worked a garden since I was a kid. Nevertheless, the way the world is running, I can’t help thinking that we may soon see a day when our survival may depend on our ability to grow our own food.
The following video is about “high-performance” gardening and makes a number of compelling arguments. I.e., one key to personal heath is to eat plants that are highly nutritious. A plant’s nutritional value depends on the biological health of the soil in which the plant grows It’s not enough to raise plants in an environment that merely provides sufficient minerals but is otherwise sterile. The key to growing nutritional plants is to grow them in a soil that has a strong microbial environment.
The following video reveals that modern pesticides not only kill insects that might attack our plants, but also sterilize and effectively kill the microbes in the soil. Likewise, modern fertilizers consist of chemical “salts” that may provide mineral to plants,but also tend to kill the soil’s microbes. Thus, the result of using modern pesticides and fertilizers may be a reduced nutritional quality in the plants we eat.
This video presents alternatives that are claimed to produce food that is greater in both nutritional content and quantity than can normally be produced with conventional pesticides and fertilizers.
If you’re inclined to garden, this video is worth your time.
