What is soil health? How do you measure it? What is the difference between soil tests? What are the phosphorus & carbon cycles? How do you know if your soil is healthy? How do you get a good pasture growing? And lots more probing questions. Above all, if you are going to use chemicals, ask yourself why? Are there other ways of dealing with the problem? Gerhard clearly shows you that there is!
