THE REVIEW

Before I : disappear ina puff of blue smoke
let me do. a bit of mincing and delicate
shuffling about. Most of the information in
this article has been gleaned from Time-Life
Encyclopedia of Gardening, the Wise

Garden Encyclopedia, and similar reliable .

sources.

I have done some substituting because
both. these reference books are American,
and -I find they use fertilizers that aren’t
readily available in Canada, in small
quantities anyway.

A lot of the ‘‘good”’ is taken out of the
soil, every year, by your plants, and if you
haven’t got compost, and no easy access to
loads of manure or sea-weed, then you may
have to use more fertilizers.

I don’t mean larger quantities, I mean
‘“‘more often’’, than the following suggested
timetable.

Don’t. ever double the quantity. .
better to under-fertilize than ‘‘over’’.
