USEFUL HINTS
Stand seed boxes on a framework of large-meshed wire netting and slaters will be effectively kept at bay. If lime is sprinkled underneath, slugs and snails will never trouble the seedlings. Sow a row of spinach, radish, turnips or lettuce between the rows of potatoes. They will all be well matured before the ground is fully occupied by the potatoes. When capsicum plants appear to have finished bearing, cut them well back and give the soil around them an application of liquid manure. They will soon shoot out again and bear another crop.
