9780331889840 - Experiments in the Use of Old Soil in Growing Carnations and Roses (Classic Reprint) de Weinard, Frederick Francis (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: 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.
