Highly informative article. Please see the Campfire article: I believe this needs to be a full-fledged article, instead of just a comment to one, and I suggest that you submit a proposal as such to them.

Here here on the article submission suggestion. I've studied with Dr. Elaine Ingham and heard her tell this story. Alarming. Given the discussions about agriculture sustainable or not on TOD, I'd strongly suggest an interview article on Ingham's work. It's truly astounding and offers some clear alternatives to conventional fertilizer/"-cides" ag.
