I have just purchased a refractometer. Is it possilbe to test previously frozen raw milk and get an accurate reading of what the milk would have tested fresh?...
Repeat request: I'd like to see a short piece on the various foliar sprays one might use to boost up a plant with lagging Brix readings. Peace, Kris [Non-text...
I would suggest that if you learn to let your plant decide what to use. In Arden Andersens book, Science In Agriculture, He discusses exactly how to mix up a...
Hi Mary, I think this would be a good experiment. I think it would remain the same because you have not reduced the minerals in the milk by freezing it. ...
