Arcillite and pollen
Hello Everyone,
Hope this finds all doing well. I am wondering if anyone has used a
conditioner for clay soils called Arcillite? I saw some at Wal-mart
yesterday,it was a Schultz brand just called "clay soil conditioner" the
ingredents listed as 100% Arcillite. It claims to stay in the soil
indefinatly,acting as an aeroater. Also I wonder if anyone has experimented
with saving male pollen for a week or so,then using it to polenate when
females appear? I remember seeing somewhere the pollen from flowers was
refrigerated and used later on. They shook the pollen from the males then
stored it in a glass jar. When they were ready to use it they applied the
pollen to the females with a small paint brush. Has anyone tried this with
AG's? Seems if this would work,we could share pollen eliminating the need
for a particular plant just as a polenator??? And we might be able to do the
crosses we want,even if we ourselves can't get our hands on a paticular
seed. Thoughts on this anyone???
