Inhaltsangabe
Hands-on garden chemistry you can actually do at home or in class. This practical guide introduces the chemistry behind soils, manures, sprays, and plant foods with clear, step-by-step experiments. A Course of Practical Work in the Chemistry of the Garden offers hands-on activities that connect classroom ideas to real gardening tasks.
Through the book, you’ll explore how plants take up minerals, test common fertilisers, and learn how different manures affect soil texture and fertility. It also covers making and testing sprays and washes to protect crops, including preparations for lead arsenate washes and paraffin emulsions used in pest control.
- Learn to analyze soil water holding capacity and observe clay flocculation and soil structure.
- Examine organic and inorganic fertilisers, from farmyard manure to commercial phosphates and potash salts.
- Create and evaluate garden sprays, including apparent safety notes and practical techniques for emulsions and lathers.
- Follow simple experiments that connect chemistry with everyday gardening decisions.
