From the June 2009 issue of Scientific American magazine:
“Mining phosphorus for fertilizer is consuming the mineral faster than geologic cycles can replenish it. The U.S. may run out of its accessible domestic sources in a few decades, and few other countries have substantial reserves, which could also be depleted in about a century.
Excess phosphorus in waterways helps to feed algal blooms, which starve fish of oxygen, creating ‘dead zones.’
Reducing soil erosion and recycling phosphorus from farm and human waste could help make food production sustainable and prevent algal blooms.”
It is a serious threat to the world’s food supply and everyone interested in food should read the complete article here.

City gardens can be just about anywhere. Patios, balconies, front porches, back porches, driveways, rooftops, abandoned lots, and even in the trunks of broken down cars.
But the current fad for fresh food is rooted in the deep traditions of the kitchen gardens kept by Appalachian grandmothers, European immigrants, and African-Americans in the Deep South.
