Does a trace of copper poison a plant or spur it to grow? Winifred Brenchley answers with water cultures, sand cultures, and field experiments, measuring how metals stunt or stimulate root and leaf. A careful laboratory account of the fine line between toxin and tonic in the soil. Learn what really feeds and what quietly harms.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
