rwo HINTS ON TENDING OF HOME GARDEN Tips on How to Meet Soil Requirements of Different Vegetables CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ' ! SUNLIGHT IS NECESSARY ITotliing' BXakos up for Absence ' i of Sunlight in a Garden. Practically all truck c'eps do bet tor on a sahdy loam eon tnan ont that U sticky and heavy. Large r* 1 sized crops, however, such as cabbage, tomatoes, beans, and peas, will do well on heavy soil provided it con / tains the necessary vegetable matter. The soil in most back-yard gardens is distinctly heavy. It will help the soil greatly if the owner works into it a good amount cf finely sifted coal ashes free from all cinders. Coal ashes are used largely for the physical effect in breaking up a compact, heavy soil. Such ashes do not take the place of fertilizer. Plentiful uso of well-rotted manure is still more beneficial in breaking up heavy soil because this improves the texture and adds fertilizing material. Many garden soils are sour. To offset acidity and al^o to improve the physical properties of the soil the garden sp.* laluts recommend tne us, of lime. Burnt lime should be ap plied at the late of 1,000 puui's t< the acre or slaked lime at the rate of about 1,500 pounds par acre. A garden plot 50 by 100 is approximate!;, one-ninth of an acre. To apply tl.e lime, brca ;ca t it am mix it freely with the surface soil b; harrowing or raking. Lime should b applied before the crops are set out ?r planted and should n< t be eppl'ec at the same rate that fertilizer c. manure is put on. Manure will gteutly improve land. If-well-rotted manure is not available, it may be advisable to use a complete chemical fertilizer. Apply 5 " the rate of 800 to 1,000 pounds pe. acre a mixture containing 2 to 4 pe: cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid, and 1 to 2 par cent potash. The amateur gardener will find it easie to use ready-mixed fertilizer, whicl can be obtained from any reliable . dtaler. Hunlight Necessary for Garden. No amount of fertilizer, water, ano cultivation will make up for the ab sr.nee of sunlight in a garden. Home gardeners before attempting for thr first time to use a back yard or othe* apace should consider carefully how many hours a day any part of tlv yard is in shadow from buildings, fences, or trees. At lesist five hours of sunlight a day is necessary for a successful garden. The more sunlight they get the better it is for most vegetables. For this reason it is bad practice to put plants of low habit between tall-growing plants which will shade them for the greater part of the day. A$ a rule, foliage crops such as lettuce, spinch, and kale do fairly well in partial shade, bui even these must have sunshine two r three hours a dt y. In laying out the garden, therefore use shadier parts for such plants and reserve the sunny spaces for those which must have plenty of sunlight to grow fruit properly. ?* ? 8 ?
