Where did you get this? It's really hard to believe something like this with all the misspelling, incomplete sentences and incorrect grammar. Im not on either side of the fence, but how does this prove that flushing is not necessary? Im not convinced in the least yet. I would like to see more examples or reasoning.Organic nutes? If yes you have fed incorrectly!
Once again & for the final time i will quote some one who actually knows what he is talking about, putting a "flushing" advocate in his place!
"The IACR Rothampstead research station has had an ongoing experiment running continuously for over a 150 years.
Using a field that has never had any fertiliser added to it. It has had a crop after crop of wheat taken off it from the start. They measure how much nutrient the crop takes out every year. They have sumps that collect the water that percolates through the top soil to ground water to check nutrient leaching. The average rain fall has been round 612 ml a year. The nutrient reserves in the top 22cm of soil is still round 2520 kilos of phosphorus and 7017 kilos of potash per hectare.
The IACR soil research team are going to be really sad to hear every thing they have found to date has been totally wrong. So are all the horticultural science and advisory institutions world wide. As they all use the IACR data as the primary source to calculate nearly every thing to do with soil science relating to nutrient retention and leaching in the temperate zone. "
End of myth.
