Abiotic Korean Natural Farming

In this episode, we frame up a multi-episode conversation about Korean Natural Farming-- its history, its application, and most importantly the science behind the utility of using minerals on any site. How does making minerals bioavailable work, and why is it so necessary to do these things today, despite having farmed for thousands of years without them?     Sources:    Krishnamoorthy, R., Alshatwi, A.
