Description
A Second Look by Edward H. Faulkner is a thought-provoking exploration of soil science and its impact on agriculture. In this sequel to his influential 1943 publication Plowman's Folly, Mr. Faulkner revisits the theories he previously expressed, drawing on extensive investigations at experiment stations, with soil scientists and farmers across the country. He challenges the conventional wisdom that commercial fertilizers are necessary to replenish the soil, instead arguing that a more gentle approach is required. By understanding how tiny crystalline fragments in the soil interact with acids released from organic matter, Mr. Faulkner reveals a fundamental truth: the indiscriminate use of commercial fertilizer can actually harm the soil. This book offers a compelling case for a new perspective on soil health and its relationship to agriculture, one that has significant implications for farmers and gardeners alike.
