Buckwheat Hulls 
FOR SUMMER MULCHING 
Hot, dry soil, packed down hard, means a mounting 
death rate among the Summer garden population. The 
hoe and the hose may help some, but both mean a daily 
task for the gardener. 
Buckwheat Hulls spread over the beds will keep the 
soil moist and cool, so that plants will grow in spite of 
the beating sun. A mulch of Hulls will smother small 
weeds, and larger ones cam be pulled easily as the soil 
is soft. 
Buckwheat Hulls prevent rain and mud splashing 
over the fruits and flowers during Summer showers. 
When shrubs or perennials are set in Spring, make a 
depression around the plant, 2 or 3 inches deep and 
about 6 inches from the stalk; fill this with Hulls and 
keep the ground cool. 
FOR WINTER MULCHING 
No other substance seems to be so practical for Winter 
mulching. Buckwheat Hulls will not pack down like 
leaves or litter, but stay loose and light on top of the 
soil. True, the ground will freeze, but in early Spring 
the Hulls prevent the alternate thawing and freezing 
that tears the tender roots of perennials and bulbs, and 
ruins the plants.

Soil Texture is the basic factor in making and main¬ 
taining good garden soil or good grass soil. If soils are 
worked more to “fine” and more humus-making med¬ 
iums and less chemical concentrates added, better soil 
and greater fertility will be obtained. G. P. M. Peat 
Moss will break up clay and change it to a comfortable, 
friable soil. It will add body to sand, permitting the 
retention of adequate quantities of moisture—absorbing 
eight to ten times its own weight. It is the only humus¬ 
forming material that will hold maximum water without 
puddling, and it is guaranteed to absorb and retain 
more moisture, and contribute more humus, over a 
longer period of time than any other commonly used 
medium.
