Hi Lloyd, Jose, Tim I am part way through reading Albrecht vol 1 and have some questions.
1. Are there different CEC ratios for different crops? 2 Are there different CEC ratios for different soil Ph? 3 Are there different CEC ratios for different soils? I grow ornamental crops ie perennial flowers and all year round harvesting of cut ferns. I have a heavy clay soil and all my crops require a ph of between 5-6 In vol 1 Albrecht is mainly discussing grain and lequme crops that grow in a ph range 6-7. As i have been reading the above qeustions have come to mind. Any thoughts please.I am working with soils that have been thrashed to death after 20 years of chemical farming. All my crops are perenials and take 2 years to replace and bring into full production again. Progress is very slow and i still have a very large morgage to clear before i achieve a level of sustainability. Thankyou Tony Robinson Rambler FLowers New Zealand
