Omschrijving

"It is bold, it is courageous, and it challenges many of our preconceptions about food, about soils, about farming, and about health." --Michael Ableman, farmer, author of Farm the City

To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality, the essential minerals lacking in our soil from intensive agriculture must be replaced. The Intelligent Gardener is the practical, step-by-step guide for any serious gardener who wants to:

  • Demystify this process
  • Debunk much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements
  • Re-mineralize our soil.

Accompanied with customizable web-based spreadsheets, this toolkit calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers. It conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.

Vegetables, fruits, and grains are a major source of vital nutrients, but centuries of intensive agriculture have depleted our soils to historic lows. As a result, the broccoli you consume today may have less than half the vitamins and minerals that the equivalent serving would have contained a hundred years ago. This is a matter of serious concern, since poor nutrition has been linked to myriad health problems including cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. For optimum health we must increase the nutrient density of our foods to the levels enjoyed by previous generations.

The Intelligent Gardener goes beyond organic--it offers the essential tools for those who care about the quality of the produce they grow.

"It's hard to imagine this book not having a significant and lasting impact on the way organic farmers and gardeners grow their crops." --Mark McDonald, West Coast Seeds
