Everyone should have a survival pantry. It really is that simple. Maybe you don't believe in the "zombie apocalypse" like your crazy neighbor up the road (doesn't everybody have one of those, or is it just my luck?) and that's fine. There are many more practical reasons to store and preserve foods and potable water. Think hurricanes, tornadoes, rampant wildfires, and other natural disasters. Think terrorism.

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.
