Materials That Should Not Be Combined

Categories: HOME-MIXING OF FERTILIZERS

The advocate of factory-mixed

goods warns the farmer against the danger of making combinations of

materials that will cause loss by chemical action. The danger is wholly

imaginary if no form of lime, wood-ashes, or basic slag is used in the

home-mixtures. As has been said, some materials will harden, if

permitted to absorb moisture, and if the mixture must stand, a few

hundred pounds of muck or dry road dust should be added to each ton as

a drier, and a correspondingly larger amount per acre should be

applied.
