All over the planet, human health relates directly to soil health. Healthy, living
soil gives life to everything that grows in it and is the main source supplying
our plants with the sustenance they need to properly develop into naturally
thriving, insect-resistant, nutrient-packed produce. When we eat a piece of
a living plant that came out of living soil, our body draws out the nutrients
we need to stay alive and be healthy. Looking at this life process in
reverse, we stay alive by extracting the life from living plants that
depend on living soil. When you think about these facts, you
can realize what an important resource our soil is and why we
should all be concerned about the way it is being polluted
and destroyed through mankind’s carelessness and abuse.
Nutrient density is very important
Local, backyard & home grown
Your home garden is a better source of produce than
commercial agriculture. When it comes to the large
corporations that control most of our food supply and
farmland, the concern is profit, not human health. Chemical
fertilizers and pesticides might give quick results but they
do nothing to maintain the balance of nature, actually killing
the life in the soil over time. Likewise, fertilizing with sewage
sludge – or “bio-solids,” the concentrated end product of
wastewater treatment plants – has the potential to pollute soils
with pathogens, heavy metals, thousands of chemicals, and
other impurities that survive so-called “treatment” of waste that
merely concentrates what heat cannot destroy. Rest assured
that Dr. Earth® soils and fertilizers have never and will never
contain any bio-solids or cheap fillers like chicken manure.
