Default More On Mittleider

As near as I can gather, in about the same time frame, a
whole bunch of people 'discovered' the same things: raised
beds, intensive planting, drastically improved soil. Many
'methods' and books resulted: Jeavons' books, Bartholomew's
square-foot gardening, etc. - and the Mittleider Method.


We learned about deep/raised bed gardening from UK gardener John Seymour
in his book _The Self-Sufficient Gardener_ (1979) and have not looked
back since. Pretty book too.

Now, about the trace elements thing. We had trouble with our lower
garden and added some Peters trace elements (experimental). This made
an almost immediate improvement for us. And then the results of our
soil tests came back verifying the lack of certain substances. That was
my first experience with purchased trace elements.

Great post, thanks!
