One of the common errors in planting 
squash, melon, cucumber, etc., is to as- 
sume that a hill really is a hill. Actually, 
a hill is a hole since these vine crops are 
planted in depression about 2 inches be- 
low the surrounding surface to catch 
water. Incidentally, all vine crops love 
humus or well-rotted manure. If they can 
be planted in depressions filled with soil 
from a compost heap, they will produce ex- 
travagantly. A liberal amount of sheep 
manure or cow manure in each hill will 
give gratifying results.
