I have seen fertihzers get sodamp and sticky that some drying material such as plasteror dried muck had to be mixed with them before they couldbe sown. This is often the case with home-mixed goods,when a lot of nitrate of soda is used. Do not let this littlewarning about damp goods keep you from home-mixingyour own fertihzer. It has been repeatedly proven thathome-mixed goods are best and by far the cheapest. Allthe tools that are necessary are a pair of scales, a shovel, FERTILIZATION 41. FiQ 9.—Home-made fertilizer screen. (Common sand sieve.) 42 LATE CABBAGE and a sand sieve. A sand sieve may be easily made bytacking a piece of J-inch mesh galvanized screen acrosstwo side pieces spaced about 20 inches apart (Fig. 9). There is nothing more to home mixing of fertilizersthan simply weighing out the required amounts of chem-icals and shoveling them together a couple of times, thenrunning them over the sand sieve to take out any lumps thatmight make trouble. Simply get the habit and you willalways do it.
