A deep wooden frame filled with a mixture of sand, sawdust and fertilizer produced wonderful harvests of fresh, wholesome food. Gee !
Perhaps we should leave Mother Nature in our Pagan Past and step forward into a Bright New Future?
Using the Mittleider method we can grow food on carparks, playgrounds, industrial wastelands, former motorways and so on... Wonderful!
Just imagine, food from a concrete jungle.
Growing food in a sterile sand/sawdust /fertilizer medium banishes weeds and diseases at a stroke!
Perhaps even our farmland could be chemically sterilized and well fertilized and perhaps really good, disease free, fertilizer efficient, weedkiller proof food can be grown there... Great!.... Err... Hmm... but what happens when the oil dries up and the fertilizer costs more than the harvest?
