Ploughing methods
Viktor Schauberger's interest in soils was initiated during a visit to
Bulgaria in the 1930s where he had been commissioned to build a
log-flume. King Boris asked him to look into the decline in soil pro-
ductivity and the shrinkage of the water table in the northern parts
of the country since the introduction of modern mechanized farm-
ing methods. The southern part, on the other hand, was still fertile,
with abundant moisture.
Viktor found that in the poorer southern part of the country,
populated largely by people of Turkish origin, the fields were
tilled with traditional wooden ploughs pulled usually by teams of
women. These fields remained very fertile and productive, with
high crop quality. In the north, however, the fields were ploughed
with tractor-drawn steel ploughs. As he was aware of the destruc-
tive effect that steel and iron have on water in the soil,
Schauberger attributed the disappearance of the water and the
poorer yields to the use of the steel ploughs and the faster
ploughing in the north. This knowledge led him to invent a new
kind of plough and to do a number of experiments on improving
soil fertility. Before going into this, however, we need to under-
stand more about electromagnetism.Two kinds of electromagnetism
Viktor already recognized that in Nature there are two types of elec-
tromagnetism, just as there are two kinds of temperature change.
The one that encourages growth and stimulates energies in all
organisms he called biomagnetism or bioelectricity; the elements
connected with this form of electromagnetism (diamagnetism) are
copper, bismuth and gold.
The other, ferromagnetism, usually just called magnetism,
when combined with an electric current, is the form that is com-
monly used in electric motors and dynamos for the generation of
electricity. In Nature this form of energy is used to break down
substances. In water's case it disintegrates the water particles into
its constituent atoms. The elements of ferromagnetism are iron,
nickel and cobalt.HIDDEN NATURE
