your ground will bear, for if your dung be covered but half 
a foot thick with mold, it may be fofficient for the purpofo 3 
but if you will not be at the cod of trenching, good digging 
may ferve, laying your ground in good order, and breaking 
the clods as occalion requires 3 and if you cannot get new 
liable dung, which is bed for this purpofo, then any old 
draw, or old call hay, or any other dung you can get,yet the 
lighted is bed for trenching,and the rottened to dig in an or¬ 
dinary way, but if your ground be not very good at prefont 
for your purpofo, your bed and foired way is, after you have 
trenched or digged it, to foatter fome very rotten dung con¬ 
verted to mold, or the bottom of a Wood-dack, or fome 
Lime-rubbifh of old walls,well cleanfod from Bricks,or the like,

or the back of your Spade 3 but if you fow greater quantities, 
then you are, as I formerly faid of Carrots, to tread in your 
feed, and then lightly to rake it over 3 be careful to fow and

riage by hard weather and the birds be pad,you are to cull or 
thin them, that they may dand about three fingers breadth 
afunder, or thereabout, which may be fufficient for the more 
forward fowings 3 but for the more later fo wings, they 
mud have more didance,becaufo the tops or leaves will grow 
more rank and large, and will caufe them to neck for foed 
beforethey are come to any convenient fize for ufe 3 fo like- 
wife if your later fowings are near hedges, or the like, they 
will be apt to run up and neck before they are good for any
