    I had suspicions that this could some day be a problem.

    This was at the news overhere too. Showed how wastefull we actual are. But..
    A trail in Sweden during more tham 30 years showed that no fertilizers and only manure and covercrops produced 2 % less than farming with fertilizers. Question is do the expenses for phosfor justify the increase of the production.

    Just before the first world war in south of France Mister Jean farmed for over thirty years without plowing, without manure, without fertiliser, without covercrops. He sold everything from his crops, including his straw and his yields were at the same level as of his neighbors. In 1913 on his 50 acres they did trail with 3 bags of fertilizers, distributed in bands across his fields. Person from the unerversity of Bordeau could not find any results in the use of fertilizers on his field nor on his yields.
    You can’t earn any money on not selling fertizers, so the compagnies won’t advertise with the results of Mister Jean.
    Among others Prommata is still promoting the “Methode Jean”.
    Futhermore look at Paul Stamets’s books and you mat find part of the sollution for this events.

    Henk.
