The TraEiical Kitchen Gardiner. 



I have already, in my 7ra5lical Fruit 

 Gardiner^ fhewn tlae methods I take to 

 drain or draw off the fuperfluous wa- 

 ter from all clayey foils^ by fubterra- 

 neous tubes or drains made by ramming 

 of clay round a wooden rowler $ fo 

 that I need add no more on that head. 

 But for the farther improvement of this 

 kind of foil, I bring in about two hua» 

 dred load of the beft fand I can get, 

 two hundred of dung and coal-afhes 

 well mix'd and mouldred together, with 

 one hundred of natural turf-mold ta- 

 ken out of highways, to an acre , and 

 have all thefe forts of materials mix*d 

 with equal skill one amongfl: another; 

 I fet my men to trenching the ground, 

 blending all the kinds together, and at: 

 lafl: (as I fhould have mentioned in the 

 other article) throwing the good natu- 

 ral and burn-bak'd mold at top, becaufe 

 the burning difpofes it for immediate 

 ufe fooner than any thing again : Or, 

 in the words of a good husbandman, 

 reduces it into more immediate tillage. 



To continue on the method of im- 

 proving this ground, you muft be fure 

 to trench it once if not twice a year, 

 till the mold is fo well mix'd and in- 

 corporated
