322 THE KITCHEN GARDENER. [fi, 3, 



torn, and that which is now the bottom, 

 and was the furface at firfl, now becomes 

 furface again, after having refted fix years. 

 Proceed in this manner alternately ; the 

 one time trenching two fpit deep, and the 

 other three : by which means the furface 

 will always be changed, and will reft fix 

 years and produce three. 



Hence will there always be new foil* 

 in the garden for the production of whole.- 

 fome vegetables ; and hence alfo will 

 much lefs manure be required, than when 

 the foil is fhallow and the fame furface 

 conftantly in crop. 



I have faid above, that the foil fhould 

 be from twenty-four to thirty-fix inches 

 deep : and I would not advife that it be 

 much more, or at leaft that it be trenched 

 to a greater depth j as thereby the furface 

 might be buried too deep from the adion 

 of the weather and influence of the fun, 

 and confequently would be crude and 



unmeliorated 



* I prefume the appellation is confiftent with the 

 idea we have of New Soil, as certainly in reality 

 there is no fuch thing ; but, by this procefs, it will 

 be in a great meafure renovated.
