Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, a historical document containing radical agricultural theories, examines the relationship between humans and the soil. The author, a man with decades-long farming experience, contends that through improper cultivation techniques, people have weakened the earth and reduced its fertility. The author proposes that, contrary to popular agricultural practices, the soil is in fact not exhausted by its products, and that its impoverishment arises instead from its exposure to the sun and harsh weather conditions. He then goes on to present his unique and innovative system of farming which offers a practical solution to agricultural deficiencies. By following a six-part crop rotation system and leaving the soil covered by clover and grass during the winter, the author argues that the richness and productivity of the soil can be restored and even enhanced. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in agriculture, environmentalism, and the history of human interaction with the natural world. By promoting the conservation of our natural resources and advocating for sustainable farming practices, this book offers us a path towards a more harmonious relationship with the environment.
