This stimulating book provides highly practical insight into the interdependent relationships between soil, plants, animals and human beings. It allows the reader to participate in the fascinating life cycle of those soils which are still healthy. Our arable land has been exhausted by overuse and lacks the nutrients essential for life. Depletion of humus is already described as extreme in some areas. The lack of soil nutrients and microorganisms along with the insiduous pollution of soil and groundwater are having a demonstrable effect on the health of the people who derive their nutrition from such soil.
On this subject, the author offers advice: Always maintain the fertility of the soil. However we must refer to the knowledge gained by our ancestors and restore their cultivation techniques. Erhard Hennig addresses all components of the soil: micro-organisms, microtaes as well as soil nutrients and minerals. The reader will also explore natural fertilization using compost and rock dust as well as their roles in the formation of humus.
With regard to fertilization supplying energy, Hennig emphasizes that the condition of the soil is directly linked to the mental and physical well-being of the human race as well as animals. Even beyond this, Hennig establishes the bridge from the threats to life on earth to the ordering of matter in space, with the premise that there is no pure matter, as earth and space are influenced by the spirit.
Hopefully this will contribute to drawing the necessary conclusions in our personal lives.
