 Re: Global Warming and Cane

Cane of many types is commonly used as a windbreak or a partition hedge. It only has to remain in place to do its job. But for cane that is cut into reeds, the fibers have to be just right for that very different kind of application. No doubt the nutrients in the soil (silicon, boron, calcium, for example) contribute to producing varieties suitable for vibrating on woodwind instruments. The cane producers in the Var region probably have much secret lore and trade information about that, gleaned both by long experience on the soil as well as more modern scientific experimentation that they seldom or never disclose to outsiders.

In New Orleans on the marshy borders of the Lafite Green walking trail, large stands of horsetail (Equistrum or reed rush) grow, with their green silica ridges looking close up like the ridges on a metal file. Passing them, I often wonder if they could be ground to powder and added as a soil amendment where Arundo donax is growing, of if they could be boiled down into a compost tea and sprayed on the cane fields to make the cane grow with stiffer ridges. The Var growers probably go way beyond such naive and fledging ideas in their soil preparation and fertilization
