FERTILITY
In practical terms fertility is composed of Bulky Organic Matter (BOM) and Concentrates. You can think of concentrates as 2 sources – minerals/supplements for the soil, and animal concentrates – bones/nails/blood, etc. All of the soil/growing media on the planet is different mixtures of animal, (concentrates), vegetable (bulky organic matter) , and mineral (subsoil, crushed up rocks, concentrates, trace minerals)
The word “compost” has a glamour or kudos all of its own, charged with quasi-mystical potency by those few initiates who have witnessed its effects; occult alchemy to most, ignored by society at large.
However, this humble concept could hold the key to solving some of modern civilisation’s more intractable problems, such as waste disposal, contamination of food cycles and the increasing ineffectiveness of antibiotics. Modern usage for the word and the process it describes date back only about 100 years in the western world, although there are examples of the indigenous practice of composting throughout history and pre-history, especially the continuous tradition of composting techniques in China.
