Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tree Planting With Du Pont Dynamite: New and Valuable Information for Peach, Apple, Pear, Cherry, Orange, Lemon, Pecan Orchardists, Nurserymen, Growers of Small Fruits, Etc
The explanation of this is simple. It is because the explosion of the dynamite loosens up the soil for yards around the spot, kills all grubs, worms or other animal life likely to injure the young tree and thus makes root growth easy; whereas, digging the hole with tools tends to pack the earth around the roots and retard their growth.
Scientific agriculturists have discovered that water is the most important element in all kinds of plant growth. Soil which is Of the natural consistency to allow water to circulate freely through it and still retain or conserve it so that it is available at all times for growing plants, may be considered as ideal for agricultural purposes. Few soils possess this natural consistency. Other soils, which may be classified as good: average, or fair, must have artificial preparation in order to make them produce the results that may be expected from the rarely-found perfect natural soil.
