The Practice Of Home-mixing

Categories: HOME-MIXING OF FERTILIZERS

The business of compounding fertilizers

has been involved in a great deal of unnecessary mystery. Many of our

best station scientists have labored to show that the home-mixing of

fertilizers is a simple and profitable piece of work, and the heaviest

users of fertilizers in the east now buy unmixed materials, but a

majority of farmers use the factory-mixed. Manufacturers are right in

their contention that many people do not know what materials are best

for their own fields, or what proportions are best, but the purchase of

mixed materials does not solve their problem and it does not help them

to a solution as quickly as home-mixing. The source of the plant-food

in the factory-mixed goods is not known, while it is known in the

home-mixed.
