An extract from the book:
"Rich healthy soil is the most valuable thing in the world. Soil covers the earth and healthy soil enables us all to grow our food. We all know what soil is, but not many of us realise how valuable it is. Without good soil, there would be no plants, no crops, no forests, no animals and more importantly there would be no YOU."
