Back to Eden
When you look at the incredible landscapes on Earth, all the different terrains, different soil types, amazing water features, oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, waterfalls, different climate zones, tons of plants and ground For plants, the requirements for molds are so diverse. Can you imagine how big this project is? When God “designed” landscape engineering for the earth, he was so ingenious, he “designed” it in such a way that he never had to show his face at work. It is completely self-sufficient.
After years of hard labor on soil damaged by man-made agricultural systems, Paul Gautschi finally got a taste of what God had in store for mankind in the Garden of Eden. Some of the major issues facing agriculture today include soil preparation, fertilization, irrigation, weed control, pest control, crop rotation, and pH issues. None of these problems existed in the unaltered state of nature or in Paul’s garden and orchard.
Paul said that soil is a living organism, and like all organisms, soil has some kind of protective covering. We have skin to protect us, animals have fur, fish have scales, birds have feathers, and the ground is mostly covered with something. If you remove the cover, the ground becomes fragile and lost. The ground in the Midwest looks almost dire right now. It was dry, cracked, and hard, almost desert-like. There is no topsoil because everything is blown or washed away. We’re losing topsoil, and in nature it takes 100 years for an inch of topsoil to form.
Obviously losing about 4 tons of soil per acre per year is not a big deal, but is soil forming at this rate? As the soil erodes, the organic matter is eroded, all the nutrients in the soil are eroded, and this resource is no longer there.
