Gypsum as Fertilizer for Farm and Garden Use
Advice and observations on gypsum or plaster as a soil top-dressing. Experiments show gypsum can boost clover and timothy yield to over three tons per acre in some cases, while other soils show no response. The author urges farmers to test gypsum on their land, note variability, and consider it alongside stable manure and other fertilizers, citing Prof. Lothrop’s long-term use and the role of gypsum in pastures and crops.
