@Adair M ,
What we study is properties -
An example -
[1] Earth to 3 feet has 8 % organic material
You guys create an inorganic soil.
Our 9 parts inorganic to 1 part organic is similar
to the earth results.
[2 ] [ I believe MichaelS left this ]
Flowers - 3.2 N - 0.55 P - 5.3 K
Leaves - 3.2 N - 0.83 P - 5.2 K
Acts as leaf mold and filters down as compost.
'[ 3 } You guys use fermented oil seed meal -
around 6 to 8 N - 4 to 2 P - 2 to 1 K
plus Fish Emulsion.
So when you left the oil seed as cakes on the soil,
you probably came back up to the 0.8 % organic
as your oil seed cake composted and went down
into your soil
Fed the microbes.
Applied to our soil mix ---------
1 part organic to 9 parts inorganic
Our older trees are in their 30's and the soil is being
further re-adjusted to suit.
Thus far it works very well.
Because of our high ramification the branchlets are
finer and leaves smaller. You can observe this when
you look at a 10 year old and a 30 year old.
Next we can adjust the fertiliser to reflect the above information.
See how we use the science.
In school doing Biology, there was a mention of ------- ringing a
tree, where any pressure on the exterior of a tree alters the
internal flow.
So we know wires slow growth, as does bare rooting.
No need to study that.
Explains why Lingnan is so fast -------- trees evolved to handle
breaks -------- which is what a clip / cut would be.
Since it is at the end, no tubes that feed are affected.
Our root cores, carry durable inorganics, and - seem - to dicourage
fat roots, only feeders seen on the 30 year examination.
Clay is known to encourage fat non feeding roots.
Which is why we don't bother to dig mature trees. No feeder roots
closer than 2 feet.
So we don't need peer reviews, just properties.
Thanks for chatting.
