I just found out that you can download a classic book on liming and fertilizing, Bread From Stones, This classic, written by Julius Hensel over 100 years ago is a highly recommended read. Julius was a chemist and proved that plants are much healthier when fertilized with rock dust. Every farmer will benefit from reading this book.
I bought a reprint of this last year and really enjoyed it. Julius understood that finely ground limestone worked much better that coarse lime. While there are a few things that have proven to be false much of what he has written will be very valuable to many farmers.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Thanks to www.farmingsecrets.com for making this available!
Isn't it great...we can all learn from history. Neat post.
It seems like everyone thinks thier parents ideas are stupid, then one day you wake up and realize they new what they were talking about!
