Researchers
Find Use
For Refuse
Members of two horticul
tural research teams from
Pennsylvania State Univer
sity have found a construc
tive use for discarded anthra
cite mine refuse banks.
The scientists say that a
refuse and nutrient combina
tion will serve as well as an
inexpensive substitute for
the two fnilliorT tons of top
soil now used annually in
greenhouses.
Properly treated and
crushed coal refuse is rela
tively inexpensive, abundant
and can be trucked as far
away as New York and Balti
more for less than the cost of
soil, according to estimates.
By adding extra light and
by balancing moisture levels
in the refuse soiless medium,
rose yields were increased 60
to 90 per cent above those of
flowers grown in a soil mix
ture with natural light Esti
mates of the cost of installing
and operating the supplimen
tary lights in conjunction
with the anthracite refuse
growing medium indicate
that the additional income
from the first year alone
would finance the initial costs.
