Synopsis
Excerpt from Experiments in the Use of Old Soil in Growing Carnations and Roses
The greater part of a 100-foot house, containing four 4 - foot benches, was devoted to these experiments. As a rule the different plots were moved about in the house each season. Benches were repaired as necessary at the time the plots were shifted. A layer of strawy manure was placed on the bottom of the bench before the soil was replaced. A chart of the house is given in Fig. 1, and the location of the plots each season may be found by referring to the chart.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the effects of reusing old soil in growing carnations and roses, challenging the common practice of replacing soil annually. The author conducted experiments over several years, comparing yields and quality of flowers grown in fresh soil to those grown in soil that had been used for up to 15 years. The results debunk the notion that old soil is inferior and prove that it can be just as productive as new soil, especially when treated with steam, manure, or other fertilizers. The book not only provides practical advice for growers on how to maintain soil health but also contributes to the broader understanding of soil management and plant nutrition. It highlights the importance of considering factors such as soil age, variety, and environmental conditions when making soil management decisions. Ultimately, this book challenges conventional wisdom and offers valuable insights for optimizing flower production and minimizing waste in greenhouse cultivation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780331889840_0
