GARDEN MANURING
With digging must always go manuring, for at no time can manures be j more easily and more effectively api plied than during the turning over of the soil. Whenever possible, the manure used should be animal manure, which not only supplies all the food inj gredients needed by plants, but also ; adds humus, makes heavy soils more | tractable and light soils more retentive of moisture. A garden can be ! made a success when artificial fev- , tilisers are used in combination with j decayed vegetable refuse, but the pro- ; duce will seldom be so good as when i animal manure has been applied at ! least every few years.
