Synopsis:

Excerpt from Lupins for Green-Manuring

Plants other than those of the leguminous order (clovers, peas, beans, lupins, etc.) are not recommended for green-manuring, for the reason that they supply to the soil only the humus, besides What substances they have taken from it during their growth; While yet, a leguminous crop costs no more than any other. It is true that in the ease of all tap-rooted plants the surface soil is enriched by What was taken from the subsoil. But as in the arid region the surface soil is largely of less importance than the subsoil, on account of the deep rooting and feeding characteristic of plants in arid climates, the advantage thus secured is greatly reduced; as is also that of the crop roots being afiorded an Opportunity of deep-rooting by following the course of the tap-roots of the preceding crops. Moreover, nitrogen being the most expensive of elements supplied in manures, the advantage of securing it from the atmosphere Without additional cost is obvious.
