Organic gardening and global warming
After my post the other day about greenhouse gases and Voltaire, a friend alerted me to this site, which is all about the positive contribution organic gardens make to the problem.
“When David and his wife Judy started gardening about 10 years ago, their soil tested just one percent organic matter. Now it tests 7.7 percent (an astonishingly high number, about twice as high as most farm soils). That difference is made up of carbon taken by plants out of the atmosphere — a reverse-greenhouse effect.”
Certainly worth a read. And has made me feel a little bit better.
