"... I have read your book three times and I pick up more every time I read
through it. I have read many a fertility manual but you bring everything
together in a very straightforward manner that is very easy to understand,
and I consider this information beyond anything that I could have received,
even the most advanced college courses. Again, thank you."
Jerry Cordell, Sedgwick, Kansas
"What a wonderful revelation your book has been..... only now has light come
streaming in - from your pen." John Fair, South Africa
"This may be the first hands-on manual to address the real problem of ecologically
sound agriculture with a system that does not pollute land, water or food
resources." Acres USA (magazine)
"Congratulations on your book "Hands-On Agronomy". You've taken the complex
subject of soil physics, chemistry, and biology and put it into an easy to
understand, common-sense format." John McLean, Florida

TOP FRUIT GROWING
Dr. Paul Krichkovitch
Application of the Bouche-Thomas method of growing and
managing fruit orchards. The Bouche-Thomas system aims
for quality and yield at reduced cost and has three characteristic
features:

SOIL FERTILITY AND ANIMAL HEALTH
(The Albrecht Papers, Vol 2)
William A. Albrecht, Ph.D.
Edited Charles Walters, Jr.
Dr.Albrecht was one of the premier soil scientists of his day, and still is to this
day. The Albrecht Papers comprise a classic study of soil fertility and its relation
to crop health and animal health. The value of Dr.Albrecht's work is being
increasingly appreciated by growers today. |

Topics include:
Nature's Soil Pattern for Health
Only Balanced Soil Fertility Grows Balanced Rations
Nutritious Feeds via Soil Fertility
Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and their effects in plants and animals
Crops Must Grow Their Own Organic Matter
The Significance of Trace Elements
Problems of the Proteins
Impoverished Soils, Poor Animal Health, and Economics
|
||
This is a great book for those who wish to familiarize themselves with the
key concepts of the Albrecht soil fertility approach. Use this book to understand
the depths of how well the program Dr.Albrecht helped to develop really works
in the field for improving both plant and animal nutrition. It should be read in
order to glean the most from Hands-On Agronomy and other books that
promote this system.
We recommend that whoever plans to take our Advanced Soil Fertility
Course first read this book, and 'Eco Farm', for a better understanding of the
principles that are utilized in that course. |
