Synopsis

Bread From Stones: A New And Rational System Of Land Fertilization And Physical Regeneration is a book written by Julius Hensel in 1894. The book presents a new and innovative system of land fertilization that challenges traditional agricultural practices. Hensel proposes a system of fertilization that uses finely ground rocks and minerals, which he argues are the true source of plant nutrition. He argues that the use of chemical fertilizers is harmful to the soil and ultimately leads to the depletion of soil nutrients. The book provides a detailed explanation of the science behind Hensel's system and includes practical advice for farmers and gardeners on how to implement it. Hensel also discusses the importance of physical regeneration of the soil, which involves improving soil structure and increasing microbial activity. Overall, Bread From Stones is a groundbreaking work that challenges traditional agricultural practices and offers a new approach to land fertilization and soil regeneration. It is a must-read for anyone interested in sustainable agriculture and the future of food production.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About this title

About the Author

Julius Hensel was a German agricultural chemist in the late 1800s who discovered that by adding finely ground rock dust to soil he could confer immunity to bacterial, fungal and insect attack. Eventually these these findings were published in Das Leben, or The Life and later as Bread from Stones.
