Talk:Agriculture in ancient Greece

Population involved
The Fr: FA gives this figure; as it made it through to FA status, have to give it some credence. Rather than just deleting this, let's see where the figure came from.Bridesmill 03:21, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * This article is not FA on the French-speaking Wikipedia, and still a long shot from it :-) I added the reference. Jastrow 13:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry; there's so many of the Greece articles on the French Wiki that are FA - it's easy to get confused. Thanks for the ref.Bridesmill 14:04, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Manure
I've requested a citation update for the assertion that manure wasn't used in Greek agriculture. My preliminary research is showing that they did: Quora: What is the earliest evidence for the use of manure as fertilizer? If there are no objections, I'll be updating this article in a week or 2 with the relevant information about the use of manure which was discussed in some of Theophrastus' writing. k. da-ma-te (talk) 05:56, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm the author of the original French article from which this one was translated; I can't trace back the source of the incriminated sentence. According to the books I've just consulted, animal manure was known indeed. Homer mentions manure from draught-animals (mules, oxen) in Odyssey 17.297. However, the extent to which it was used is not known. Migeotte 2002, p.58 mentions it was little used; Isager & Skydsgaard, p.111 state that the quantity of manure available for spreading depends on the organisation of animal husbandry: if the animals were fed in stables, there would have been a large quantity of manure; if the animals were scattered across the land, there would have been little manure.

When was the planting season?
Sorry but the article doesn't really say - it implies sometime in the fall. 96.231.17.131 (talk) 01:59, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
