Abstract
The Woburn Market-Garden experiment was started in 1942 to investigate the development of a market-garden type soil from an ordinary agricultural soil on light land by applying organic manures regularly. The ‘organics’ used were farmyard manure, sewage sludge, and composts of these with straw and farm waste. The use of sewage sludge was discontinued in 1961 and the yields of the crops up till then were published by Mann & Patterson (1963).Keywords
