Product Description
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 nurtient 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.

This book is not only a well written account of the live's of Dr. Maynard Murray and Rene Quinton who discovered the nutritional properties of sea water and their miraculous effects on agriculture, livestock and the human body. it explains how many of today's maladies have been solved with dietary supplementation of "ocean plasma" or a diluted isotonic solution of sea water. it shows how farmers have benefited from adding a diluted small amount of sea salt to their crops and how their yields have increased. It shows how livestock are sensitive to the mineral composition of the soil and how they will migrate to a field that has been treated as opposed to one that has not.
Table salt has two main ones Sodium Chloride. Sea salt has 92 different trace minerals. This book is a must for the farmer, the rancher and those interested in health. It is one of my greatest finds
EVERYONE should read this book! October 19, 2009

This is a great book. It all made perfect sense when I began reading about this. Ocean water is loaded with minerals, and what is it that most fertilizers and soils are lacking? Trace minerals.
One of the most interesting bits of information that I learned from reading this book is that hybrid crops are incapable of absorbing certain minerals, even if the soil has an abundance of them. They are bred and developed to grow on soils that have been depleted of nutrients, because chemical fertilizers only supply NPK in extreme quantities, and maybe a few minerals. Not only do chemical fertilizers fail to replenish the nutrients taken up by the plants from the soil, they poison it. Quite literally. As Charles Walters mentions in this book, toxic wastes from industry (including heavy metals) are being dumped into commercial chemical fertilizers. Hmm, I wonder why the health of the people in the more industrialized nations of the world is declining? Funny, I haven't heard anything about this in the debate on universal health care in the U.S., or anywhere else in the mainstream media. Nor by the environmentalists. So a little extra CO2 (which plant life will happily absorb) is alarming, by golly it's a lethal threat, but toxic chemicals being dumped into soils all over the world and ending up on the dinner table isn't?
Open pollinated crops, according to Walter's, will not even grow in the soil that is used for the hybrids. They require a more balanced, nutritious soil, which in turn makes them more nutritious, and the animals and people that consume them receive those nutrients. If you research how hybrids are produced you'll find that they cross two weak, inbred plants, and the result is the hybrid. Inbreeding has never been beneficial for animals or humans, so why would it be beneficial for plants. Since hybrids can't absorb some minerals, it would appear that the inbreeding process is causing genetic deformities. And if you read up on genetically modified foods, you'll find that they are even worse.
I'd recommend going to farmer's markets if possible (reading articles by Catherine Austin Fitts on the web will make it crystal clear why we should all buy local when possible), and do your best to avoid most food at the supermarket. Buy yourself some heirloom seeds if and when you begin a garden, buy some sea solids, use worm castings, and magnetize your seeds using the methods discovered by Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls for even more nutritious, more vigorous, higher yielding plants.
