Fertility from the Ocean Deep: Nature's Perfect Nutrient Blend for the Farm

by Charles Walters

With the recent republication of Dr. Maynard Murray's Sea Energy Agriculture, readers rediscovered the forgotten legacy of an eco-ag pioneer. Murray's idea -- that ocean water contains a concentrated, perfect balance of trace minerals in bioavailable form -- seems almost as revolutionary today as when he introduced it three decades ago. In this fascinating book, Charles Walters examines Murray's career and the amazing successes that growers have experienced with his methods, as well as further developments in this technology by creative experimenters. Using hard data obtained in the field, Walters demonstrates that sea-solids fertilizers produce stress-resistant plants and food with naturally extended shelf life and vastly increased nutrient levels. Both an amazing narrative and a practical guide for improving soil and crop health, Fertility from the Ocean Deep is a must-read for everyone interested in the cutting edge of sustainable agriculture.

I really enjoyed this book; it was very similar to ‘Sea Energy Agriculture’ by Maynard Murray, but with a few tangents that the author followed taking the reader away from the value of sea salt in our food production systems. Overall, I felt like the information was valuable and worth reading; I have lots of new ideas to implement this into my diet.
