Minimum Victory Garden 

pyr 
AS 2 ; 

A MINIMUM VICTORY GARDEN should be at least 20 by 30 feet in area, if it pretends 
at all to completeness. Smaller areas may, of course, be used for single plantings of 
vegetables, or they may be put into flower borders.

HERB GARDENS are not grown as much as they should be, in spite of the fact that 
most herb plants may be started from seed, and will produce the first year. 
PLANT FOOD TABLE 
The standard application of a bal- 
anced plant food is 4 pounds per 100 
square feet (a space 10 x 10 feet 
square). You may figure one pound 
per pint, so an area 10 by 10 ft. re- 
quires two quarts. One quart will 
feed 50 square feet and one pint 25 
square feet. 
Where smaller quantities are re- 
quired, use a rounded tablespoon per 
square foot. For convenience, here 
20 
is a table showing some common 
areas and the standard balanced 
plant food application for each: 
5’ x 5’ equals 25 sq. ft.—requires 
1 lb. (or 1 pint). 
5’ x 10’ equals 50 sq. ft—requires 
2 Ibs. (or 1 quart). 
10’ x 10’ equals 100 sq. ft.—requires 
4 Ibs. (or 2 quarts). 
20’ x 30’ equals 600 sq. ft.—requires 
24 Ibs. 
25’ x 100’ equals 2,500 sq. ft.—re- 
quires 100 lbs.
