Never before in my entire life have a read the word re-mineralisation so much as I have in the last few days. I get it, minerals are important but it's really not necessary to cram it down the readers throat as well as provide mocking stories about how you warned people they suffered losses then saw you were right.

When one speaks of natural farming, typically it is farming within the confines of natural processes, in this book natural farming refers to industrial farming using 'natural' chemicals applied with heavy farm equipment.

There's some reasonable concepts in this book, but there is a lot of rubbish and clutter. Crap like vitamins, minerals & good diet curing cancer, or homeopathy being wonderful, negative reviews of Bill Mollison's permaculture ideas because mulch is a fire hazard (apparently!).

Can't say I'd recommend reading it, the few tid bits it does have can be found elsewhere with less opinion and more facts.… (mais)

This book contains information on animal health that is very hard to find anywhere else. Pat Coleby shows that the way to animal health is through the health of the soil. Covers treatments for cattle, deer, pigs and sheep. A great help for those looking for alternatives to using conventional chemical treatments. Very interesting information on the treatment of snakebite and cancers in animals with high dosages of vitamin C.

A book that has come from many years of practical application. Highly recommended if you have anything at all to do with livestock.… (mais)
