Remineralizing the Landscape: Creating Fecundity in the Garden
Remineralizing the Landscape: Creating Fecundity in the Garden
by Owen Wormser
Principal at Abound Design
Landscape professionals each year put countless amounts of plants in the ground. Their success and their client’s happiness requires that these plants establish themselves quickly and then grow with vigor. Consequently, any experienced landscape professional attends to each plant’s requirements, working hard to make sure each plant gets exactly what it needs. This usually means focusing on fertilization and pH requirements while locating each plant in a spot ...

Dan Kittredge Offers Hope and Prevention on the Late Tomato Blight Panel at NOFA
"Insufficient soil mineralization is at the heart of our vulnerability to plant diseases. Only through building sufficient mineralogical and biological reserves in the soil to feed the crop through extreme weather years such as this one are we capable of preventing diseases outbreaks on our farms like late blight."

Co-utilization of Rockdust, Mineral Fines and Compost
Working towards integrated resource recycling and use
Robin A.K. Szmidt & John Ferguson
Abstract
For those who have seen the regeneration of poor soils into highly productive systems through the practice of soil remineralization the empirical evidence has been sufficient to convince many that there is something of great interest happening in soils treated with rock dusts and other mineral sources. The early history of soil remineralization in Scotland was the result of the vision and commitment of Cameron and ...
Maximizing Nutrition in Backyard Gardens
by Ben Grosscup
(forthcoming) Massachusetts Organic Food Guide, 2009-10
Is it possible to grow food with exquisite flavor, beautiful shine, extraordinary nutrition, and extended shelf-life? According to growers who have done it, not only can farm-sized growing operations do it, but with the right tools and knowledge, people can do it in their own backyards. Practitioners of this kind of growing say their goal is to maximize crop nutrient density - the amount of nutrition per volume of crop - and that this can be done in a manner entirely consistent with certified organic ...
