For the first time in an authoritative reference book, authors cover both theoretical and practical aspects of hydroponics (growing plants without the use of soil). This reference book covers the state-of-the-art in this area, while offering a clear view of supplying plants with nutrients other than soil.

Book excerpt: “A Way to Garden prods us toward that ineffable place where we feel we belong; it’s a guide to living both in and out of the garden.” —The New York Times Book Review For Margaret Roach, gardening is more than a hobby, it’s a calling. Her unique approach, which she calls “horticultural how-to and woo-woo,” is a blend of vital information you need to memorize and intuitive steps you must simply feel and surrender to. In A Way to Garden, Roach imparts decades of garden wisdom on seasonal gardening, ornamental plants, vegetable gardening, design, gardening for wildlife, organic practices, and much more. She also challenges gardeners to think beyond their garden borders and to consider the ways gardening can enrich the world. Brimming with beautiful photographs of Roach’s own garden, A Way to Garden is practical, inspiring, and a must-have for every passionate gardener.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Uses of Peat: For Fuel and Other Purposes The Bureau of Mines is making a comprehensive investigation of the composition, heat value, and utility of the mineral fuels in the United States. In the course of its research the bureau is giving particular attention to methods of mining and utilizing fuels to the end that waste may be avoided and deposits of low-grade fuels now lying unmined may be made important assets of the Nation's mineral wealth. The investigation as a whole is a continuation of the testing and analyzing of fuels, as carried on by the United States Geological Survey, from the inception of the work in 1904 to the transfer thereof to the Bureau of Mines on July 1, 1910. In consequence of the transfer of authority this bulletin is published by the Bureau of Mines, though it was prepared under the direction of the Geological Survey. The bulletin sets forth the results of an investigation that was undertaken to determine whether peat, a fuel widely used in some countries, could be made serviceable in the United States, where, though labor and economic conditions differ from those in the peat-using countries, there are opportunities for the introduction of a fuel selling at prices that should make the mining and shipment of peat to near-by markets profitable. In connection with the investigation of the possibilities of utilizing peat as fuel, attention was incidentally given the possible development of other uses with the view of increasing the value of a material that hitherto has not been generally considered an important natural resource of the United States.

Download or read book Swamplands written by Edward Struzik and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world filled with breathtaking beauty, we have often overlooked the elusive magic of certain landscapes. A cloudy river flows into an Arctic wetland where sandhill cranes and muskoxen dwell. Further south, cypress branches hang low over dismal swamps. Places like these-collectively known as swamplands or peatlands-often go unnoticed for their ecological splendor. They are as globally significant as rainforests, yet, because of their reputation as wastelands, they are being systematically drained and degraded. Swamplands celebrates these wild places, as journalist Edward Struzik highlights the unappreciated struggle to save peatlands by scientists, conservationists, and landowners around the world. An ode to peaty landscapes in all their offbeat glory, the book is also a demand for awareness of the myriad threats they face. It inspires us to see the beauty and importance in these least likely of places. Our planet's survival might depend on it.
