Are ancient ideas about maintaining harmony with the spirit of place valid today? Was secret knowledge of enhancing plant growth practiced by early medieval Irish monks? Were our ancestors influenced by an advanced culture from the Sirius star system? All this and more is revealed in Alanna Moore's latest book ? Stone Age Farming: Eco-agriculture for the 21st century ? which describes the latest ideas on the role of magnetism and paramagnetism in plant growth and how to impart it in order to bring dead soils back to life. In this book are described numerous natural and simple techniques which help to: ? Counteract soil sterility and salinity ? Restore chemically poisoned land and waterways ? Improve farm profitability ? Help counteract the effects of radiation and radioactivity ? Improve plant, animal and human health ? Even improve your sex life! Alanna Moore has been described by a neighbour as being capable of 'making a dead stick grow'. She is a passionate permaculture gardener and believes that we can address the downward environmental slide that is happening with growing techniques used for thousands of years by people who had a deep respect and understanding of the rhythms and energies of the Earth and cosmos. The book is the result of eight years research in her own gardens and meeting people involved with esoteric agriculture around Australia. She has been a journalist for the permaculture International Journal and Green Connections magazines. Her speciality is geomancy and dowsing and its relation to eco-agriculture. She now writes for Earth Garden, Acres Australian and Acres USA magazines. Her previous book Backyard Poultry ? Naturally has become a bestseller.
