The Drainage of Land irrigation 1887 FA
The Drainage of Land ,Irrigation ,& Manures by Arthur Roland
1887.Somewhat grubby but a good solid copy. Brilliant and totally obscure vintage book on land management. Despite all of this I think a really useful book for the farmer or smallholder,or even the owner of large boggy gardens! Great sections on manure & compost! Some headings :- Land springs,Drainage of wet grass land, Essex drains, Size & bore of pipes,Wedge & shoulder drains ,Depth of drains ,Stone drains,Tile drains / Iriigation,Catch water meadows ,Flow meadows ,Management of water meadows / Manures, Sheep dung,Pig dung, Manure heaps, Mr lawrences method for the preservation of manure, Compost heaps, Ashes,salt application,firing stubbles etc. etc.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MESE%3AIT&rd=1 |
