I think Charlie is right about the mineral stuff and the modern agriculture system depleting the soil. I’ve spent a lot of time growing vegetables and learning about soil and I can definitely see how downhill our agricultural land is going.. and scientists have been saying this probably since the 1970s or 80s?
im in the second year of a vegetable garden and some of the vegetables already don’t have the same flavour they had 2 years ago when I started… some even taste bitter now… probably need to find some horse manure… shocking how quickly it can get depleted if you add nothing back and are a bit reckless with how you grow food. which is how modern farmers do it.
