Description

"This Basics of ... series is quite interesting. How-to guides are not particularly new, but this series offers a new take on the concept. I learn something in every book, enough so I could try my hand at it -- whether it be Farming, Pottery, or Beekeeping." - Nicolas Gilmartin Teranzi, Online Critics Corner "This is basic stuff about farming, but I guess that's the point. Nothing too fancy, nothing too modern, just the good ol' how-to that gets you started. - Warren Miller, Farm Boy The most successful farmers are those who work in harmony with the forces of nature that control the growth and development of plants and animals. These hardscrabble men have gained their knowledge by careful observation, experiment, and doing. This book covers the principles of farming. A number of simple experiments have been introduced to make the work more interesting to the general reader, and aid the prospective farmer in making simple investigations for himself. However, the best observations begin on the farm. The plant is the central and all-important factor on the farm. And the root is the most important part of the plant to the grower. The conditions necessary for the growth and development of plant roots are regarded as the fundamental principles of all agriculture. These truths are as follows: The roots of farm plants need for their best growth and development: ¥ A firm, mellow soil. ¥ A moist soil. ¥ A ventilated soil. ¥ A warm soil. ¥ A soil supplied with plant food. The study of roots and soils are the key to all agricultural and horticultural practices. In addition to the how-to's about planting and harvesting, the examination of certain farm operations helps you understand their effects on root growth and the fertility of the soil. What's more, you'll learn the highlights about raising poultry and keeping dairy cows. Enough to take your first steps as a farmer.
