“Dont’s” About Cabbage Culture 
1. Don’t put cabbage plants on the same soil oftener than once in 6 or 8 years. 
2. Don’t use some old garden or rich spot around the buildings for a seed bed. 
3. Don’t select a protected spot for the seed bed as insects hover in such places. 
4. Don’t locate the seed bed below last year’s cabbage field or any other place when there 
is danger of getting contaminated soil from an old field washed or carried to the new field. 
5. Don’t select a piece of soil where mustard grows for a seed bed. 
6. Don’t use any ground for a seed bed, or the crop, which floods at any time. 
7. Don’t try to grow plants on damp, soggy ground. 
8. Don’t over fertilize your seed bed. 100 lbs. of 5-10-5 for each 3,000 sq. ft. is sufficient. 
9. Don’t sow seed and fertilizer together. Sow fertilizer separate and drag it in. 
10. Don’t use any manure on a seed bed from stock or poultry that are eating cabbage. 
11. Don’t plow or fit a seed bed with machinery that has just been used on an old cabbage 
field. 
12. Don’t plow or drag when your soil is too wet. 
13. Don’t sow your seed too thickly, 3,000 sq. ft. per lb. broadcast or 25 or 30 seeds per foot 
in rows. 
14. Don’t expect to make money in cabbage growing by using common cheap seed. Poor 
cabbage years are when cabbage is high. These are the times when common strains do not head 
well. 
15. Don’t expect full results on poorly fertilized soil, but don’t over fertilize. 
16. Don’t plow your field late in the season. Do it early or in the fall, then drag at inter¬ 
vals until setting time. 
17. Don’t set late if you expect a large yield. 
18. Don’t space plants unevenly or too far apart for medium sized heads. 
19. Don’t set when your ground is wet. 
20. Don’t cultivate too deep or break the leaves on the plants. 
21. Don’t cultivate more than is necessary. Fit your ground before setting, then cultivate 
shallow only enough for weed control.
