Years ago (25) a salesman came around selling a white waxy product called Reach. Got it in a 5 gallon pail and you half filled a seed box. Then stirred in maybe a cup of it. Then fill the box and put in another cup. Don't really know if it boosted yield, but it sure got the crops off to a good start. Does anyone remember it? Ever used it? Or know where one might find it? I have been looking around on the net for it, but can't find any thing. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

As a kid back in the 1970s, I remember stirring this Black powder (Soybean Rhizobium inoculate) into planter seed boxes. It was supposed to boost biological fixation of nitrogen from the soil into the soybean roots. Then that decaying nitrogen was to be more readily available to next years corn crop. In actuality, Soybean roots do this process automatically. |
