Soil scientist Jairo Restrepo Rivera of COAS has books and a video available in Spanish on remineralization
"It is lamentable that as soil scientists coming from the university classroom we are not acquainted with the natural solubility of the minerals found in rocks. What would Julius Hensel say!"
"What we need to discuss is, what gives life to plants? What animates the minerals so that they can be transformed into biodiversity? For this we have to make a great effort as scientists to understand that agriculture and plants aren't the arbitrary sum of minerals: plants are harmony, a symphony, a miracle of nature. For me, is enough to respect the miracle, feel that life is ...

Remineralizing the Landscape: Creating Fecundity in the Garden
Landscape professionals each year put countless amounts of plants in the ground. Their success and their client’s happiness requires that these plants establish themselves quickly and then grow with vigor. Consequently, any experienced landscape professional attends to each plant’s requirements, working hard to make sure each plant gets exactly what it needs. This usually means focusing on fertilization and pH requirements while locating each plant in a spot where it will get the necessary amounts of moisture and light for it to feel at home. All these considerations ...

Dan Kittredge Offers Hope and Prevention on the Late Tomato Blight Panel at NOFA
Dan Kittredge Offers Hope and Prevention on the Late Tomato Blight Panel at NOFA
"Insufficient soil mineralization is at the heart of our vulnerability to plant diseases. Only through building sufficient mineralogical and biological reserves in the soil to feed the crop through extreme weather years such as this one are we capable of preventing diseases outbreaks on our farms like late blight."
-Dan Kittredge, Director of the Real Food Campaign
