Placing a small heap of rich stable

If trees need water pull the soil
away from around the roots, give each
tree a pailfu and after it soaks in
replace the earth. No use to apply
water TO the surface Of the ground

If YOU observe that the shoots on
your trees grow only FIVE or six inches
every year you may know that the
soil needs to be enriched. The growth
ought to be from fifteen to thirty
inches every season.
Tent caterpillars are bad pests when
they get on some of your pet trees.
Watch out for them and when seen

Cultivate the spring set strawberry
