Nutrient Recycling Soil Saving Program

The Problem:
Soils ability to hold nutrients

The Social Invention:
The Nutrient Recycling Soil Saving Program is, as the name implies, a way to recycle nutrients and save soil. It's essentially a mimic of the natural process of geology on a smaller time scale. It would be used to increase the nutrient value of agricultural products. One would create two basins one on top of the other The space between the two basins would allow a dredge pump to access the bottom of the lower basin. The first basin would be filled with soil and a drain would be located at the bottom to allow leach of nutrients. The second lower basin would collect the liquid and sediment and the dredge pump would pump the soil soup back to the top to be used on agricultural products once again. Gravel dust (see our global ideas bank's "Saving the Planet With Gravel Dust") could be used to supplement the soil and increase soil nutrients even further. Again these nurtients could be recycled through the dredge. Www.contourcrafting.org could be used to build the basins. Contour crafting is essentially robotically built structures.

an aside: I'm hoping to find an effective biotic "dredge pump" so this isn't patentable such as azolla, a nitrogen fixating plant used to fertilize rice paddy fields or the transpirational pull of larger trees.
