Are you just not satisfied with the lack of tin-foil hattery in your books about soil? Look no further! This guy has you covered.

Herwig takes you on a ride in this one as he suggests the notion of "remutation": A theory suggesting both mitochondria and chloroplasts can survive and thrive in the soil outside of their host plant cells. It’s a brash theory but fascinating nonetheless.

For the #Bitcoiner: "Her writings suggest that decentralization probably represents the only hope for new humus production."

"This weakened soil yields weak harvests for weak animals and weak people."

For the soil nerds: "A significant proportion of the bacteria regenerated from plant cell organelles present in cow dung return to the planting soil. Unlike artificial fertilizer, this kind of fertilizer is filled with life and enriches the soil with bacterial life, increasing its fertility.”

"The question thus becomes: Do we save energy, or do we use it to destroy life?"
