For when you finish the chemistry book - A Muck Manual for Farmers (1842)

While your reading, give the “ALBRIGHT PAPERS’ a look. A little more current and relevant. This stuff’s from when i was a kid; and between the Rodales, Albright and Elaine Ingham they published numerous helpful articles, still relevant today if you are into NON CHEMICAL!
