About this listen
Beyond organic - a practical guide to nutrient-dense food
Vegetables, fruits, and grains are a major source of vital nutrients, but centuries of intensive agriculture have depleted our soils to historic lows. As a result, the broccoli you consume today may have less than half the vitamins and minerals that the equivalent serving would have contained a hundred years ago.
This is a matter of serious concern, since poor nutrition has been linked to myriad health problems including cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. For optimum health we must increase the nutrient density of our foods to the levels enjoyed by previous generations.
To grow produce of the highest nutritional quality the essential minerals lacking in our soil must be replaced, but this re-mineralization calls for far more attention to detail than the simple addition of composted manure or NPK fertilizers.
The Intelligent Gardener demystifies the process, while simultaneously debunking much of the false and misleading information perpetuated by both the conventional and organic agricultural movements. In doing so, it conclusively establishes the link between healthy soil, healthy food, and healthy people.

it goes on and on and on and on...
The author talks about soil remineralization without actually explaining what it is for about 7 hours before finally starting to talk about it. He just goes on and on about all the methods that don't work. I disliked his condescending ways of explaining how his method is better without actually explaining it. I stopped more than halfway through, I couldn't do it anymore! Maybe when the gardening season starts, I'll have more patience for this!

Waste of time and money
This book is dull and all information in it is available when googled. I have no idea who’s giving this more than 2 stars.
