The ‘Green Revolution’ of the 1950’s and 60’s came as a mixed blessing for mankind and society, and although there has been a massive increase in the amount of food we produce, it has become less nutritious and soil fertility has suffered. The use of chemicals and unsustainable farming and gardening methods has meant that our precious top soil is being eroded away and the beneficial soil organisms which are the key players in natural soil fertility and resistance to disease are being destroyed.
Healthy soil is living matter teeming with living, breathing organisms. If left undisturbed, they all work in perfect harmony to nourish and protect the soils from disease and erosion, and provide plants with everything they need.
