220 ON VINES. 



I AM confident that thofe who pleafe to 

 try this method of making their kitchen- 

 gardens, will find their trees flourifh much 

 better than by any method that has hi- 

 therto been practifed ; and the wideneis of 

 the borders, which has been introduced 

 of late years, is a certain reafon that what 

 is here directed will be of greater ier-> 

 vice. But to return to the making the 

 tx>rders for Vines. 



IF the natural foil is a light fandy loam 

 (which is the beft) with a clay bottom, 

 raife the ground fo as. to have a fufficient 

 depth (two feet) which is much better 

 than digging down into the clay, although 

 it fhould be neceflary to have a ftep or two 

 into the garden. 



SPREAD fix inches of rotten dung all 

 over the top of the border ; open a trench 

 two feet deep ; lay three inches of the 

 dung in the bottom ; and when the bor- 

 der is a foot high, lay in the other three 

 inches, and .then fill up the border to its 



level ;
