This should be removed, and a reference to where this content can be found placed on keyline design. --Beefyt 05:46, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Merge proposal
In going over this article, it seems to me that it would be more appropriate to take some of the elements here and incorporate them into the articles on Soil salination and/or Keyline design. It's hard for me to see how this article might be made into something other than just a retelling of Yeomans' strategy proposals (which is part of the topic that, from my admittedly limited understanding, the Keyline Design article is about). —GrantNeufeld 04:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Good to see the work you've put in to clean up this article, it has suffered from many problems. Starting out with a bit of a OR/copyvio/POV by Yeoman's son. How much of this can be verified in any fashion I'm unsure of. I do agree with taking whats relavant to other articles. --Salix alba (talk) 13:58, 30 May 2006 (UTC) (was pfafrich)

Dodge the politics?
This article says: The inevitable stereotypical answer from almost all environmentalists is to take the land completely out of useful production, to abandon it, and to grow useless trees to recreate a vision of some erstwhile “wilderness”

But the truth is different and unrelated to this political agenda. One possible answer which is being explored with field experiments with varying results is Bioremediation which may involve using non crop plants such as willow trees that can in some circumstances rapidly change the characteristics of the soil in which they live. Mention of environmentalists, stereotypes, and inevitablity is not required and is in fact in conflict with the hope that Bioremediation might be accomplished with useful crops even though no such suitable plants are now known. -- M0llusk 05:47, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Feel free to edit at will, this article needs a lot of work and could do with a heafty trim. --Salix alba (talk) 07:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
