530 FOREST PLANTATIONS, 



DIGGING AMONG YOUNG PLANTATIONS. 



Such young plantations as have been cropped 

 with vegetables, or which are kept by the hoe 

 without cropping, fhould at this time be cleaned 

 of all weeds, haulm, and the chips and twigs re- 

 fulting from pruning ; and the ground is after- 

 wards to be digged rough, to lye during the win- 

 ter. The fpades to be ufed here, mould be round- 

 ed at the corners ; or indeed a tool, in the form 

 of a dung-fork with three prongs, will anfwer 

 well for faving the young roots of the plants.
