This is now known as AMF or Arbuscular Miccorhiza Fungi

 

70 % of all plants have this association and therefore it should not be

disturbed too much by over cultivation.

Actaully Lady Eve Balfour who founded the Soil Association was a great

philosopher and she covered all these points. These things have been proven.

I have some more of this sort of stuff in the next installment of a London

When I got his second book 'The Green Philosophy of Natural Farming'

I immediately went through it with a thick pen marking all his impersoanl

understandings with ours. Having done that the rest of the book is extremely

deep and thoughtful. Although I do think he has missed the point about a few

things.(my point of view). Still I would like to meet him some day. There is

a 2,000 acre farm in Italy doing Natrual Farming. Fascinating.

 

I don't quite follow the last half of this paragraph about pollution and how

we can be so ignorant?

 

Also he doesn't address the 'Human Element' in nutrient recycling A BIG

MISSING LINK. who does these days - I think we're loosing it fast.
