Mother Earth Journal

Mother Earth was the journal of the Soil Association, England. The first journal was dated 1946. The Soil and Health Library has scanned all issues from inception through 1950. In these pages you will meet most of the founders of the organic farming and gardening movement, with the exception of Sir. Albert Howard, who declined to participate. In these pages the fundamental beliefs of organics were established. Any scholar of the history of the organic movement must study these journals. The Soil Association was started by Lady Eve Balfour. Her book The Living Soil, is available for download from our library.
