A couple years ago I got my mind blown at a candlelit lecture in Costa Rica. The speaker was a young American ex-pat, just a normal Californian who’d educated himself on the micro-biotic aspect of agriculture and studied it while farming in various climates. “Dirt! The Movie” only begins to touch the miracles within the mysterious frontier beneath our feet, but it’s a start — and it’s streaming on Netflix, so watch it right now.
Aside: I’d love to see the demise of “rubber mulch” playground floors. You know what else kids could play on that is soft and yet non-toxic? Yep — DIRT!
