New Solutions for Restoring Our Planet
Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird
Secrets of the Soil tells the fascinating story of the innovative, nontraditional, often surprising things that certain scientists, farmers, and mystics are doing to save our planet from self-destruction — such as using the techniques of Rudolf Steiner’s biodynamic agriculture with its reliance on ethereal forces from the planets, Dan Carlson’s growth stimulating Sonic Bloom, and rock dust fertilizer to revitalize depleted soils. Secrets of the Soil devotes the bulk of its more than 400 pages to describing the techniques and results of biodynamic agriculture – complete with dozens of photographs. This is a wonderful resource and an ideal place to begin your own hands-on work toward restoring our planet.
