Set out Sterling Grown Roots this year, about six inches below 
the surface of the ground, cover with two inches of soil. As the plants 
grow up, fill trench with well-rotted manure and more soil, and some 
good fertilizer on top of that. Do not put fertilizer next to any 
kind of good root or plant if you want them to live. 
If properly taken care of you can cut your bed the following
