Provide Good Drainage
If the area III the garden is not well
drained this should be corrected by us

feet, or by open bitches, or by bedding
up the soil, leaving the space between
the beds for drains.
The ground should be plowed as soon
as possible. If hard freezing is sure
to occur after the blowing is done il
does not matter ii the ground IS q lit

to get the blowing done before freezing
weather is past, as the alternate freeZ

as loosening up the soil, breaking
down clods and making the soil gener
