Rake the mulch away from the plants that were given protection in fall as soon as the weather gets warm enough to start them to growing. Or it can be dug into the soil about them to act as a fertilizer. Get it out of sight, for it always gives the garden an untidy effect if left about the plants. Go over the border plants and uproot all grass that has secured a foothold there.
I consider it the best substitute for barnyard fertilizer that I have ever used, for all kinds of plants. The best, all-round vine for general use, allowing me to be judge, is Ampelopsis, better known throughout the country as American Ivy, or Virginia Creeper. It is of exceedingly rapid growth, often sending out branches twenty feet in length in a season, after it has become well established.
But first a special word for the tree itself: everybody knows that the cedar is a healthy, cheap, democratic wood, streak'd red and white an evergreen that it is not a cultivated tree that it keeps away moths that it grows inland or seaboard, all climates, hot or cold, any soil in fact rather prefers sand and bleak side spots content if the plough, the fertilizer and the trimming-axe, will but keep away and let it alone.
To Increase Bearing of Walnuts. We have a walnut orchard which does not bear enough nuts. The trees are all fine, even trees, 10 and 12 years old, and we are told that the crop was light this year because the trees were growing so vigorously and put most of their energy into the new wood. Is there any special fertilizer which will make the trees bear more and not prompt such heavy growth?
Every spring, just as the blossoms are falling, he spreads evenly under the branches four quarts of salt. While the trees thrive and grow fruitful with this fertilizer, the curculio, or plum-weevil, does not appear to find it at all to its taste. As a result of his methods, Mr. Force has grown large and profitable crops, and his trees in the main are kept healthy and vigorous.
If only the grain, including a yield of 4 bushels an acre of clover seed, is considered, the straw, stalks and hay being returned to the soil either directly or in farm fertilizer then the loss per acre from four years of cropping as above would be as follows: Potassium 51 pounds Magnesium 16 pounds Calcium 5 pounds Phosphorus 42 pounds
So I figured the Greenies would need fertilizer to make up for the depleted soil in their huts. It seemed simple to me." "Ummm. You were right, apparently. It was a great contribution to our work, and we are grateful." He looked at Hanlon a long moment, then asked sharply, "How did Rellos die?" "A dog tore out his throat." "We know that but you said you killed him."
But phoenix-like they continue to reappear in such vast quantities that they are still the cheapest food on the market. Such huge numbers are caught at one time that they have now and again to be used for fertilizer, or dumped overboard into the sea.
"It is prosperous," said the old patriarch, drawing up a chair which stood at the foot of a tree and seating himself. Eugene sank back into the hammock. "It's a soil that's rich in lime and carbon and sodium the things which make plant life grow. We need very little fertilizer here very little. The principal thing is to keep the ground thoroughly cultivated and to keep out the bugs and weeds."
Did ye hear about the Fertilizer Company's layin' off two of our men las' Friday just fer bein' off a day or so without leave, and their gittin' a couple of scabs from Hoboken to" "What else do we git?" said Tom, in a quick, imperious tone, ignoring the digression. She had moved a step closer. Crimmins looked slyly up into her eyes.
