What is soil? Ask this question of someone you know, and they may have a hard time coming up with the answer. Soil is a combination of disintegrated rock and humus (decomposed organic matter). Soil is considered to be alive because it is inhabited by many living organisms. Moreover, it is always in a process of formation or destruction (erosion). Essentially, soil is just a holding matrix for minerals that plants draw from to grow.
The success of all agriculture is dependent on the season and the fertility of the soil. In order to maintain a high quality of nutrition in our food the land must first be maintained. Soil fertility has always presented its challenges. In order to understand the situation, envision a farmer not as a cultivator of food, but rather as a miner. Rather than picks and drills, be collects minerals with plants. Every single plant he harvests takes from the soil macro & trace minerals. Once these minerals are removed, they are gone until the farmer replenishes them. Standard fertilizers do not even come close to rejuvenating the drained earth.
The result of this lack of minerals is that every season yields, crop quality, and the nutrient density of those crops suffers. Crops that are less nutrient dense don't look as good, don't taste as good, and are less resistant to disease and pestilence. Disease-prone plants are then bombarded with lethal chemicals to maintain production. This has been going on for decades as I am sure many of you reading this are well aware. Of course, insects adapt to the poison, while the soil becomes saturated with the compounding poisons year after year.
Agri-business also does not make allowances for crop rotation. Crop rotation is allowing a plot of land used for growing to 'rest' the year after a harvest, up to several years. This delays the leaching of minerals from the land, and gives the ecosystem a chance to reorganize the distribution of organic matter. Another type of crop rotation is planting a different plant in the same area, rather than continually using the same plot for, as an example, corn every year. By changing the plants grown on a plot, it prevents the plant specific pests of the usual crop from becoming too heavily concentrated in that area.
Of course, crop rotation is just one part of maintaining soil fertility, and does not adequately address the issue of missing minerals. As well as over-use of the land, rain water plays a major role in leaching the minerals from the soil that are so essential to maintaining proper human health and bodily functions.
Rain water is distilled water. By the time it hits the ground it could not be called pure distilled water because of the air-borne chemicals it collects on its descent. However, it is still a very powerful solvent and effectively leaches a large amount of minerals from the soil. This mineral-enriched water continually flows through streams, tributaries, rivers, and lakes until it ultimately is deposited in the ocean. Billions of tons of dissolved solids are jettisoned via waterways straight into the sea every year in America alone. Water from the ocean evaporates, the minerals remain in solution, and the cycle continues.
As humans we require minerals both macro and trace. As our bodies cannot actually produce minerals we are forced to source them from elsewhere. Up until now this has always been the food we eat and to a lesser degree the water that we drank.
As global population grew the demand for food also grew. And with our demand for food the demand for minerals grew as well. For with every season and with every harvest we are continually extracting this limited resource from our soil.
Our land has something in common with our bodies. In order for it to remain active, fertile, and productive it needs minerals just as much as we do, perhaps even more. Every season, and with every harvest we are actually mining the land. I am certain that everyone can agree that all mines have one thing in common: They are all eventually exhausted.
Its not all bad news. Rather, here lies the answer.
Minerals unlike any other nutrient are not totally lost once they are consumed by us or lost from our soil through the erosive effects of rain, flooding and irrigation. They always end up in the worlds mineral bank. This is of course our oceans.
Oceans, unlike our land are an inexhaustible resource of minerals. If we took the minerals out of the oceans waters and spread them over every square inch of available land we would be left with a mountain of minerals over 400 feet high. Once in ocean water these dissolved solids or minerals are suspended in the most perfectly balanced liquid solution on earth. We are of course talking about Ocean Water.
This was an observation that was made by the developer of Sea Mineral Ocean Trace. Decades ago Gerry Amena, a traditional farmer, was almost driven to breaking point by land that would no longer produce enough to justify the sweat equity that farming demanded let alone the financial investment. Gerry decided to do something that had played on his mind for some time. Knowing full well that the minerals lost from our soil find their way to the oceans Gerry thought it about time to go and get these minerals back. He has never looked back.
With the very first application of sea minerals Gerry experienced such profound results that he was determined to somehow spread the news to every corner of the world. For a number of years he has been doing this at a comfortable pace.
Today we join him, and with a sense of urgency we wish to educate every every farmer and home grower who would listen to break their bonds and their reliance on chemicals which has made a few very wealthy while at the same time turning most farmers into servants of their land rather than the masters of it.
Today you have a choice! You can continue being a servant to your land or you can be master of it.
Ocean water is the only solution that contains every naturally occurring mineral both macro and trace in viable and life sustaining levels. There is no man made chemical compound that has the range, balance and concentration of elements that are found in ocean water. Nothing comes even close.
Recognizing this decades ago, Gerry Amena started harvesting the oceans for the wealth of minerals that she offers. Pure Pacific Ocean water is gathered off ofthe coast of Queensland Australia where it is allowed to slowly reduce to a 1% solution. It takes an amazing 100 gallons of ocean water to make just 1 Gallon of Ocean Trace.
In a guarded location ocean water is gathered and over several months undergoes a number of evaporative processes in purposely designed ponds. Our factory is nature and the only source of energy comes from the wind and the sun.
Through this patient process ocean water slowly concentrates. It is during this stage that naturally occurring high levels of sodium precipitate out of solution (drop out in crystalline form) and is gently removed leaving behind a super concentrated ocean water solution that is remarkably low in sodium.
Balance is maintained by allowing nature to do its own work. As any one element reaches a certain density predefined by nature it will naturally drop out to ensure balance.
During this exhaustive process the sea minerals are constantly monitored to ensure quality. The Ocean Trace is then prepared for shipping to agricultural customers. The end result is a dense liquid solution chock full of the goodness of nature and the ocean. They are so rich in minerals that Ocean Trace weighs a third more than ocean water.
Our Ionic Sea Minerals are the perfect delivery method for getting a wide, varied, and viable range of essential minerals, both macro and trace, to your plants. Do you want results? Do you want profound results? Incorporate sea minerals into your garden or farming operations, and be amazed.
