Soil Restoration

Many people have come to understand the many complexities of farming and gardening rely heavily upon soil conditions. Toxins, chemical fertilizers, pesticides & herbicides on our land, and in the air and water have depleted and 'toxified' most of the inhabited areas. In fact, it seems ever-more-difficult to get ANYTHING to grow in my yard any more. I have gone to smaller container 'mini-gardens' to go around the massive time- and workload that would result from any attempt to mitigate or restore my own soil. Amazingly, I get more fresh veggies from such small-scale gardening than on my open soil. I also bring some of these in during winter (peppers, onions, garlics, ginger, some tomatoes), and have had some plants living & fruiting for 3 years now. Amazing.

However, I would recommend if you do small or large scale growing, in yard or farm, that you rethink the whole 'organic' idea, and revert to restoring the soil, if you wish to get the most, and best fruits out of your soil. I plan on implementing a similar tactic on a new plot in my yard forr nexxt spring's planting, to see what the difference is.

I found this video on Mercola's website--check it out!
