Synopsis

Bread From Stones: A New And Rational System Of Land Fertilization And Physical Regeneration is a book written by Julius Hensel and first published in 1894. The book presents a revolutionary approach to land fertilization and soil regeneration that challenges traditional agricultural practices. Hensel proposes a method of using finely ground rocks and minerals to enrich the soil and promote plant growth, arguing that these substances contain all the necessary nutrients and minerals that plants need to thrive. He also discusses the importance of maintaining the physical structure of the soil and the role of microorganisms in soil health. The book includes detailed instructions on how to implement Hensel's system, as well as case studies and testimonials from farmers who have successfully adopted his methods. Bread From Stones was a groundbreaking work in its time and continues to be studied and referenced by modern agriculturalists and soil scientists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

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.
