Fertilizer notes for highland vegetable growing

Abstract

These notes were written in answer to queries from persons interested in growing vegetables in the Highlands, but they contain a great deal of general information on fertilizer choice and application. It is well to remember, however, that they were written for Highland conditions, and the comments on liming and fertilizer use have been directed at the acid clay loam soils with low phosphate availability that make up a very high proportion of Highland soils.
