VICTORY GARDEN RULES
ARE SIMPLE AND EASY
Are you one of those inexperienc
ed persons who would like to plant
a Victory garden if you knew how
to go about it? .
If you are, be of good cheer, for
it isn’t as hard as it seems.
“There are a few rules that must
be followed in making a Victory
garden, just as there are in any un
dertaking, but ycu can learn them
easily and your chances for a bum
per crop are reasorably good. .
: Rules are Simple
CHOOSING A GARDEN PLOT.
Your first job is to select a suitable
plot of land. It should be as near
your home as possible, for the time
spent going to and from a Victory
garden cuts down the minutes you
can spend at productive work in it.
A rather light, sandy ‘'soil usually
makes the best vegetable garden
and the real heavy soils, particular
ly clay, seldom work well. Rocks.
and other obstructions hinder work
ing of the soil. If the plot is poor
ly drained, seed loss will be gréater
and the garden cannct be worked
after a heavy rain.
Above all, choose your Victory
garden spot where the morning sun
strikes it as much as possible. Af
ternoon sun is not quite so good,
and a total of five hours of sunlight
a day is necessary. I
The size of the plot is pretty
much up to you. It may be only a
few feet square, or it may be an
acre., A plot 25x50 feet of good,
fartile, soil properly handled can
grow enough vegetables to feed a
family of four. It is better to
start with a small piece of land
and garden it intensely than to
plant an acre and neglect it all. '
Tree roots are a hazard for all |
garden vegetables. They rob the ‘
soil of needed nutrients and com-l :
pete with the vegetable roots for !
moistfire. Furthermore, they often |
get in the way of the gardener’s
tools, . '
Spade It Up Early
PREPARING THE SOIL. A small |
garden plot will usually be spaded '
up. Any kind of spading tool may
be used, long or short, forked or
selid, Make the old spade do for
the duration, and get along with
yvour other old garden toolz if you
have any. If you have none at all
nerhaps yau can share a set with
one of ycur neighbors.
Better do the spading as' early as
you can, to a depth of at least six
inches, and spend some spare time
raking and pulverizing the dirt.
There’s no danger of getting the
scil too finely pulverized. Then,
too, you may find that the land too
wet to work when you get around to |
spading ¥, if you do not do it early.
Os course, if you have a large gar
den, or a plet in a community gar
den, the soil will probably be plow
ed and harrowed by machinery. It
should be raked free of rocks,
stick, and other debris.
Good Seed for a Good Yield
SELECTING THE SEED. If you
have competent, experienced gar-
deners among your neighbors, yon‘
may be able to buy seeds from them;
but if not, you will do well to buy
the best seeds you can get from a
dealer. There is no economy in poor
seed. The best costs only a few |
cents a package, and there are many |
old, reliable seed companies on which |
the amateur gardener can depend. ‘
You don’t need very much seed.
The average 10 cent pachage of such
! seeds as tomatoes, peppers, and
parsley contain enough for several
home gardens. Choose a variety
that does well in the kind of location
you have, such as a shady variety
for a shaded garden spot, ete. And
above all, trust the deseription and
directions on the package when you
start to plant the seeds. ¢
Follow Directions
PLANTING. Plant according to
directions, You might be able to
improve on the techniques that have
been tested through the years, but
the chances are slight. Make the
rows four inches deep, if the direc
tionse say four inches deep, and six
inches if that depth is specified. In
short, do it the tried and tested way;
experiment when you have become
experienced.
Do not plant seeds too thickly.
It is better to be sparing of them,
for the vegetables will have a better
chance to grow big and luscious.
Thin growing plants as soon as you
can, leaving no more than the
ground can accomodmate.
Do not try to see how many rows
you can get in a small place, Leave
the proper amount of room in be
tween them. You will want suffi
cient room between the rows to per
mit hoeing and pulling of vegetables.
THAT OLD STICKTOITIVENESS.
One of the main ingredients in any
success formula for Victory garden
ing is persistence—the will and the
ability to stick to the job until it 18
done. Gardening is not a one-day,
or a one-week avocation. It requires
a eonstant interest and attention
over a period of several weeks—
weeks when nature is at her best and
every hill and dale beckons you to
the pleasures of the field. If you
care for your Victory garden con
scientiously and regularly you will
be well repaid in health, in pleasure,
and in an abundant yield of excel
lent foods for your whole family.
And incidentally-—the time to get
started on a Victory garden—if you
i haven’t already—is right NOW.
