Preparing Victory Garden Soil
For Next Season

age. This year when 1t Is almost
impossible to purchase pipe, and
difficult to obtain tile, an effective
method of drainage calls for the
digging of trenches, as illustrated,
and then filling them in with rub
BILE which will permit the water
to run off. The rubble should be
about nine inches in depth and, il
possible, covered with a layer OF
old sods turned upside down.
Any area of the garden which
has not been planted with cover
crop can be ridged, as illustrated.
This method exposes larger areas
of the soil to the action OF frost.
Freezing results in breaking up
the soil into fine particles making
it more porous. Ridging Is done by
shoveling the soil into hills or
ridges" from six to eight inches
high.

NEARLY EVERY Victory gar
dener is making plans for a.big-
ger and better vegetable garden
for next season. And many tasks
can be accomplished this fall
which the busy gardener will find
difficult TO crowd into next
springs work schedule.
This is the time to improve the
soil for next season. II the Vic
tory garden soil proved trouble
some this year because it was a
heavy. clay type. the chances are
it has become water-logged and
will never give adequate garden
results until it has been properly
drained.
