Description:

Beyond organic-- a practical guide to nutrient-dense food.

Synopsis:

Author of five previous books including the popular New Society title, Gardening When it Counts and the landmark Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades. Founder of Territorial Seed Company. Book aims to help people achieve better health by growing nutrient- dense food, going beyond organic as most people know it Leads people to demand "nutrient-dense food" from industrialized growers by educating them on the fact that most soil has been "mined" of minerals that are not replaced between growing seasons. Exposes how the organic gardening movement has long misinformed people and has itself been mistaken about the idea that any soil can be used to grow nutrient-dense food with just the addition of compost and lime. Solomon discusses the great importance of remineralizing our nutrient-taxed soil. Believes his ideas to be controversial and will probably result in some protest from the organic gardening movement. Author is well-known and highly regarded in the Pacific Northwest. Unique to this book: the author guides gardeners through a variety of soil tests and instructs them on how to interpret the results.
