Everything dies - earthworms, micro- organisms and beneficial bacteria alike. Life with all its differences is completely elimi- nated as total uniformity supervenes. While it is often stated in defence of artifi- cial fertilisers that the world population could not be fed if their use was discontin- ued, this is yet another smokescreen to ensure large profits, for there are other ways far more effective, far cheaper as well as environmentally sustainable, which not only increase quantity, but quality too, and to which we shall now turn. 19.5 Biological Agriculture n sustainable agriculture the key factor is not so much the make-up of the underlying ground-strata, but rather the composition of the uppermost stratum referred to as the top- soil, which can vary in depth from a few cen- timetres to several metres. The long term fertility of the soil is wholly dependent, firstly on the depth of this stratum, and secondly on its content of organically processed material. Under natural conditions this friable zone is populated with an abundance of earthworms and other creatures, and culminates in a profu- sion of microbial activity in the surface layer of humus, which generally consists of decompos- ing leaves and other organic matter. Without all this mineral and chemical processing, fertil- ity decreases rapidly and it is therefore in our vital interest to ensure that a suitable soil envi- ronment is not only maintained, but also increased wherever possible. This can be done in several ways which will only be elaborated briefly here, since there is ample information readily available in most bookstores. Viktor Schauberger's contributions, however, will be addressed in more detail and while we are here concerned more specifically with food production and soil fertility, all the others factors and influ- ences discussed in previous chapters should still be taken into account. SOIL REMINERALISATION: In 1894 Julius Hensel, an agricultural chemist and contemporary of Justus von Liebig, pub- 19: Agriculture and Soil Fertility 263 lished an important book, Bread from Stone, elaborating the beneficial effects of fertilising with stone-meal, better known as 'crusher dusf or 'rockdust'. However, by this time the pro- duction of artificial fertiliser was well under way and as his book posed a significant threat to this new industry, just about every copy was sought out, bought up and destroyed, to the great detriment of both life and soil. In essence, soil remineralisation is an inor- ganic approach to increasing soil fertility. While it may sound very much like artificial fertilising, it is, however, a fundamentally different process and involves the use of very finely ground, but otherwise untreated, mainly igneous rocks with a broad mineral spectrum, such as diabase, basalt, etc. Once ground in a cold process which retains its inherent energies, it is then spread over the cultivated land and, because of its wide vari- ety of salts, minerals and trace-elements, it gives rise to the emergence of an equally large variety of different micro-organisms. Although this system of fertilisation has been in use in Switzerland for nearly 150 years on a limited scale and, no doubt, con- tributed to the compiling of Julius Hensel's book, its more recent use has been pioneered with amazing effect by the American engi- neer, John Hamaker. In his book The Survival of Civilisation5 written in collaboration with Don Weaver, he explains in detail the climatic importance of remineralisation, as it is the magnitude and mixture of the available min- eral and trace-element base that is the deter- mining factor in the growth and quality of vegetation, the latter being the vital modera- tor of climatic extremes. The book also describes the marked increase in fertility and depth of top soil that John Hamaker achieved on his Michigan property, which increased from about 10cm (4in) to about 1.2m (4ft) over a period of 10 years. More recent experiments with this material by the 'Men of the Trees' under the direction of Barry Oldfield in Western Australia showed a remarkable increase in the growth and health of seedlings planted with it as against those without.
