Out of Earth

Junejo, there is a novel idea in the book, 'Out of the Earth' by Louis Bromfield.

He dug a water hole in the saline area, dropped the salty water into it, planted it with willows, and grew fish in it. This kept the surrounding area clear and provided a new industry. Nowadays, you would look at floating vegetables on the water, keeping ducks or other poultry in rotation and planting deep rooted plants to bring down the water table. The past century of monoculture shallow rooted plants, and chemical only fertilising, is creating this sort of problem everywhere.
