PS: Here's the brochure for WOW:
What is "WOW!"?
"Wow!" is a new mixture of microminerals that will make plants grow strong, replenish the soil that they grow in and then actually pass the nutrients that the plants absorb on to you, the person eating the food! You can't get much better than that. Wow.
Answer: Use "WOW!" plant micro-nutrient minerals. The foundation of our soil is microorganisms, on which all land life depends -- just like plankton in the ocean is the foundation on which all ocean life depends. Plants are the bridge between the rocks and animals, both on land and in the sea. Plants depend on the life in the soil; they draw on that richness to grow.
Animals depend on the soil and the plants for life too. Destroying that foundation -- the soil -- is the tragedy of modern life. Our soil ultimately has produced the need for vitamin supplementation and our huge medical and pharmaceutical industry which have grown in direct relationship to the introduction of petrochemical substances to soil over the same period. Our oceans have suffered for the same reason, as these chemicals have drained into our rivers and out to sea.
WOW! plant food can begin to reverse all of the problems. It doesn't take organic certification to grow plants with no petrochemicals. It only requires that you stop using petrochemicals. WOW! rebuilds your soil and controls pests and disease in crops by using simple and inexpensive methods. It begins by strengthening the plants by providing back to soil the essential microminerals needed to feed the micro-organism population which in turn enhance the subsequent crops through these simple and inexpensive methods. The process begins by allowing the plants to grow stronger by revitalizing our soil with the essential micro-minerals needed to feed our micro-organism population -- to the subsequent benefit of strengthened plants that then grow in
the resulting renewed soil.
Question: What has happened to our soil?
Answer: OIL. The three deadly steps to the death of nutrition in our food are directly related to the use of petrochemicals on our farms and in our gardens:
1. The synthesis of ammonium nitrate for weapons from natural gas after World War II found a new market -- by promising to increase food production through the introduction of a high NPK nitrogen application that would grow vast amounts of food crops (mostly corn) -- to the immediate detriment of the life in the soil.
2. As the ammonium nitrate began killing the soil, the crops became more plentiful, allowing the chemical industry to hide its work, but that work weakened the plants as essential nutrients were stripped by the use of only NPK fertilizers while the trace elements were not being replenished. This allowed predators – bugs and bacteria – to target the weakening plants.
Because this fertilization and harvesting practice stripped the soil of the remaining essential micro-nutrients, rock was no longer able to be processed by the dwindling micro-organism population and the stage was set for industrial chemical factory farming.
3. Then petroleum based herbicides, pesticides and fungicides had to be applied to deal with the problem of predatory organisms due to the nutrient-deprived, weakened plants. but the pesticides and fungicides which exterminated the bugs and diseases also exterminated the rest of the micro-organisms, putting everything out of nature's balance, creating stronger predator organisms and addicting agriculture to the oil companies' more and more powerful poisonous products.
