What happens if my soil is MAL-NOURISHED? (Most soils are mal-nourished) Plants don’t look so good .......to humans They DO start looking really good & tasty to insects & fungus disease. The plant neighborhood welcomes weeds. Poisons get used to shortcut nature and get plants “healthy looking” anyway.....For a while.   The false answer is to apply; fungicides, salt fertilizers herbicides & insecticides. These toxins will deal with the Symptoms not the root of the Problem.....AT A TERRIBLE HIDDEN COST TO YOU or others. Sometimes in the short run, certainly in the long run. The true answer is to use Organics and environmentally helpful solutions to feed the soil natural organic material (and I don’t mean recycled sewage sludge.)  Many options are available.
