Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""A New System of Cultivation: Without Lime, or Dung, or Summer Fallows, as Practiced at Knowle-Farm, in the County of Sussex"" is a book written by Alexander Beatson in 1820. The book presents a revolutionary approach to farming that does not require the use of traditional fertilizers such as lime or dung, or the practice of summer fallows. Instead, Beatson advocates for a system of cultivation that relies on the use of green manure crops, crop rotation, and the careful management of soil nutrients. The book provides detailed instructions on how to implement this system of farming, including advice on the selection of crops, the timing of planting and harvesting, and the management of livestock. Beatson's ideas were considered radical at the time, but his book went on to influence agricultural practices throughout the 19th century and beyond. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of agriculture or sustainable farming practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
