Making A Good Mixture

Categories: HOME-MIXING OF FERTILIZERS

The process of mixing is simple, and careful

station tests have shown that it is fully as effective as

factory-mixing. The unmixed materials should be kept in a dry place

until the mixing is done. If there are any coarse lumps, a wooden

tamper can crush them on the barn floor, and the material should be

passed through a sand-screen. The material of largest bulk should be

spread on the floor, and the other materials should be put on in

layers. Three careful turnings with a shovel will secure good mixing.

Scales should be used to secure accuracy in desired amounts of the

materials.
